RE: torsion bar lift? what and how?
jack up the front of the truck a little bit , crawl under the truck and right about where the driver and passenger would be there are two 15/16 bolts just give them about four complete turnsand you'll get about 1 1/2 - 2" on the front end. I put 2" on my it didn't seem to affect anything, but i did have to get front end alignment afterwards. It looks alot better and you can get some 33's on it afterwards with a little rubbing

I'm tempted to do this because I feel the front end is way too low on my truck compared to the back.

Spray them down with some wd40 let it sit for a few minutes , then turn it clockwise to raise and counter clock to lower. I've never lowered one before, but i got a friend that said he's done it and wouldn't recommend it. But like i said i dont know.
When i cranked my t-bars i gave it 7 complete turns got - 2 1/4",
4 turns = about 1 1/2"
and as long as you jack up the front end a little bit they should be easy to turn
