I followed instructs from another site. I just started using this board so I don't know if I'm allowed to post a link to anther site:
http://www.off-road.com/toyota/tech/torsion/index.htm
I found this a long time ago and kept putting it off and putting it off....thinking it was going to be hard. It was VERY easy to do. If I was to do it all over again, I would go to the local dealership and get all new hardware like mentioned.
As for alignment, I needed one done anyway so I can't comment on how it would have been without alignment. I would say do it though...

YOu might as well just take it into an alignment shop and have them crank the torsion bars for you.
You WILL need a front end alignnment after you adjust the torsion bars, because after cranking them it alters the camber of the wheels.
I just get my suspension shop to do it. They charge me $10 to adjust both torsion bars to my liking, and then $80 for the alignment (keep in mind that's $80 CDN funds). That way you can do it all in one place. Go in, and go out, no issues.
