Are my torsion bars adjusted incorrectly?

1999 S10 ZR2

Im replacing my bushings and ball joints. When i was taking the torsion bar adjuster bolt out of the crossmember it seemed like it was screwed in much farther than it should be with only about four threads exposed between the head and the threaded hole (see pictures). Ive never touched them before but ive heard of people doing this to gain an extra inch or so lift out of the front and im wondering if a previous owner did that.

Thanks
