You can try giving it a wack with a heavy hammer right here...

When setting the height I measured from the floor to the low point on the LCA. It's 9" in this pic. Make both sides the same. The higher you set the ride height the less camber you'll get unless you're using the offset bushings. If you only change it a little you shouldn't have to loosen up...

Some play could be adjusted out but badly worn teeth could also bind when removing the play between them.

If I can't see what's happening with excessive play I like to find a helper to turn the steering back and forth while I watch what's going on. In your video it appears to be in the steering box. There's an adjustment on the box to tighten the play/mesh in the gears. A service manual for your...

And yes the backing plate dictates drum width and diameter.

You remove the shock and upper bump stop to allow the lower control arm to drop as far as possible in order to take any tension off of the torsion bar for ease of removal and installation. The torsion bar adjuster needs to be backed off all the way also. After installation of the torsion bar you...

I reused the studs... My thread...Post in thread 'Taking Up New Residence' Taking Up New Residence

Turned the adjustment bolts out?

Look closer...

They have to be marked somewhere.

One more thought, check the end of the torsion bars for right and left. If you don't see a R or L check the part numbers. Being heavy duty torsion bars they could be installed on opposite sides.

Inspect the lower control arm bushings. If they're blown out it can make things sagg.

This is one flat down too far. The red arrow shows where the adjuster arm is. You can't even install the adjuster block and bolt into the control arm. The only flat that works and what it looks like.

Here's a picture of the torsion bar one flat out of position. The red arrows are pointing to white lines that would normally line up. Look at the adjuster arm. One flat the opposite direction from where the lines line up, the adjuster arm would be way down inside of the control arm.

They're normal. Even the threaded ends are kind of disfigured.

There's only one position in the lower control arm that works. If you move the torsion bar one flat either way it doesn't work.

Bought my Moogs from Craig @mobileparts He carries all made in the USA. Not any problems with installation. There's problems with upper and lower bushings made out of the states also. There's like two hundred threads on this topic.

5" higher from what? I'd be working on getting the rear lower. The rake changes the front end alignment also.

Not very much, maybe the adjuster, maybe a couple springs. You'll need to change the backing plate to a 11" one. And the 2" and 2-1/2" width drum backing plates are different.
