That's pretty much it, as Bill put it. I believe the socket you need is 1-1/8". I'd also recommend getting some penetrating fluid and antiseize for the bolts.

It's probably the forward most torsion bars that need adjustment. They support the weight near the middle of the shell, so they take most of the weight,

Also pay attention to how the shell raises and falls. If it tips to one side consistently, one side may need more adjustment. If it falls more to the left, give the torsion bar bolt on the right (opposite side) on extra 1/4 turn.

If you do need to adjust the torsion bars at the centre, be very careful to adjust the correct bars. It is easy to accidently adjust the bolts for the rear shell instead.
