The top bolt on the opposite end of the beam holds the torsion bar in place. The splines on the opposite end are known as inner splines. The splines on the torsion bar arm end are known as outer splines. I find it easiest to raise/lower the front end using the inner splines leaving the arm in place on the torsion bar, but you can change splines on both ends.

to this day i still dont understand why people Keep taking off the nut for the ball joint for the front
You Dont Have To
all you have to do is take the opposing bolt out and once you get it out either
Push/Pull it up/down where you want it +/-3 |
Because not everyone wants to do an inner spline drop, or they want to fine tune the ride height. Plus, IF you strip the threads off the ball joint retaining bolt (very easy to do), you're screwed, as it's a special bolt.
