Torsion bar installation question

OK, I got those same bars, and yes they were a PITA.
On the passenger side, with the shock off;
I finally separated the upper BJ from the Knuckle, so I could rotate the LCA down far enough to engage the T-bar. Once in and seated, I had to jack the LCA up a lil to re-install the BJ.
On the bench, both bars looked identical.
Whereas with the 340 bars I previously had, the adjusters were somewhere in the center of their range, in the car now, with the PST bars, the passenger side has very little preload on it, while the Driver's side has a couple of turns.
IDK why this is but it doesn't seem to affect the handling. At least not that I can tell.
I got the headers off the T-bars by raising the engine a bit, by shifting it over, and twisting it. The engine is not quite level anymore, which doesn't seem to make a difference..
