at the back of the torsion bars there is a big bolt (one for each) that you tighten to lift it. just crawl under there and you'll see what i'm talking about. when you do this you'll probably have to get an alignment done and you should get 1.5 to 2 in of lift. of course you could get lucky like i did (the alignment was off in the opposite way so it fixed it and i got about 4 in out of it). my suggestion is to jack up the front, tighten the bolts all the way then let the car down, roll it about 20 ft back then forward and lower it back down to were you want it. if you tighten it alot like i did the it will be a much stiffer ride and if your back shocks are dead it will handle terrible on high speed turns, so be prepared to replace those.
