You can "tighten" the bolts and the back end of the springs. It's easier if the truck is up on jack stands as it takes some of the pressure off the bolts. Have a good breaker bar handy, with a short 18mm socket and be sure to do each side equally. A front end alignment should be done afterwards.

don't turn them too much... it will put a hard angle on your ball joints, and make them fail quicker. A couple turns is ok, but not much more than that.
