Torsion bar lift? YES OR NO

Hey just wondering if it is good idea to lift the front of my truck with the torsion bars? Also how much do i do it if yes and do i need a alignment? What does it take to do so? How much do I turn the nuts? thanks everybody!!!

Always get your alignment checked after messing with the suspension. Measure from the ground to the top of your wheel well, crank both bars the equal amount of turns, measure again. Continue to do this until its at a desirable height. I normally crank it 1/2 turns and check.

take a 13mm to the bolts. Crank em til your happy. Ball joints will wear out faster then before. and search. tons of torsion bar threads.
