you can torque the torsion bars up for a good 1 1/2 to 2 inches of lift up front and go with blocks for the rear, blocks are pretty easy to come by

Crazy, I think you meant the following link:

I've been thinking about getting a lift since...well, the day I got it. It's just there seems to always be something else to spend on the money on (most recently, gotta get a new transmission).
In case I haven't said so before, nice truck, you did a sweet job with it!
