Cranking the torsion bars to raise the front suspension? Any thoughts?

Now I got it.  I can see where the adusting bolt is and sprayed everything with liquid wrench.  As soon as I get my 2" rear shackles, I'll tackle this minor detail.  Hopefully I can get 31x10.5x15 tires as well.  Thanks guys!

I don't remember about how much lift I got with four turns.  If were doing it all over I would measure the front end height at the fender wells, turn the adjusters each 12 times, drop it on the ground, drive around the block, measure for the difference.  Keep cranking until you're good keeping in mind that you want at about 1/2 inch clearance on your bump stop.

all good gouge, also keep in mind that the front will settle some . So When you crank up the tortion bars and lets say you measure 4 inches from top of tire to top of fender. It might setttle to 3.5 or so . There is not exact science here.

I ran 31s briefly on a 2000 without lift. No significant issues excpet lock to lock

What about tire wear, is it significant?  I mean, if I buy new tires, I don't want them to wear out prematurely.  I would rather raise the front the proper way.

If it's aligned correctly, tire wear shouldn't be odd and life shouldn't be shortened.  I ran 32s with a PML for a long time.
