Tube height - the height that the torsion tubes are above the omaginary line drawn from the crank centerline.....
Tube splits - usually 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 inches, the distance between the two torsion tubes at either end of the car....
Tube offset - the amount that the torsion tubes are staggered, or offset, from one another...

Tube heights are from the bottom of the lower rail up to the center of the torsion tube.
Tube splits are spacing (center to center) between pairs of torsion tubes. sprints are 1 3/4" or 2".

And then there's the amount of split or difference in size of the front or the rear torsion bars.
Say...if you had a 1.000"dia. bar in the LR, and a 1.025"dia. bar in the RR, that's not a lot of split. A 0.025" difference or split.
Now...if you had a 1.000"dia. bar in the LR, and a 1.065"dia. bar in the RR, that would be a lot more split. A 0.065" difference or split.
It's been a long time so correct me if I am wrong. (which I WILL be - ha ha)
