If you wish to adjust the torsion bars, there are 8 bolts under the trailer. It's a bit confusing which bolt is connected to what lifting arm and shell, be sure to look carefully. Maximum lift is when they are tighter. Adjust just a quarter turn at the time, and make sure the shell is still easy to close as well as lift. Adjust only with the shell raised, never with it lowered. If your trailer is lifted on the stabilizers, put jack stands or something else under the trailer to make sure it doesn't come down on you. Jack stands must only be used on the frame not the axle, the axle will bend if force is applied to it. Stabilizers can fail from sideways force and drop the trailer. Never use just two stabilizers, all 4 must put force on the ground or the trailer will tend to roll away from the two extended ones, destroying them.
