No, torsion bars must come out, ARB has nothing to do with the ride height. Are the bolts rounded? it's still possible to remove them.

Torx bit into the bolt - give it a good whack to make sure it's in securely - nice long ratchet for good leverage and they will come out. If it's rounded then they will need to be drilled and re threaded but you will have to be careful, probably best to let someone else do it at that stage.

OR get a file or grinder and put flat sides on the bolt/nut then use a adjustable on it, or a pipe wrench
