Default Torsion Bar crank question...

I have a4" Rancho Suspension Lift, allowing me to quite easily clear 35's. And, of course, now I'm thinking of more, thinking of 37's. I already have Air Ride controllers in the back to level the truck while carrying my almost 700lb. ATV, so just by leaving some air in them full time I can easily achieve theheight I need in the rear.

Since I already have the means to raise the rear,I don't want to:
A) scrap the year and a half old 4" Rancho and buy a 6" kit (nowhere near within my budget anyway) or
B) add a body lift when I only have to raise the front.

My questions:
1) Do I still have the ability to crank the T-bars on a truck that's been lifted already?
( I guess what I'm trying to ask is, are the T-bars already cranked as a process of the suspension lift?)
2) Can I get the 1.5" - 2" I need out of a T-bar crank?
3) Will any other changes, such as shocks, 9000x came with the susp. lift, but are they able to handle the extra 1.5"-2"?
4) If this is do-able, and I crank them, I'm guessing that I will at least need to do an alignment afterwards, correct?

any feedback is appreciated...

Default RE: Torsion Bar crank question...

Have you checked your clearance since you did your electric fan mod? That should have removed some front end weight.

To answer yer questions:
1. Yes prolly so, we'll need to crawl under and see if you have any adjustment left tho.
2. See 1 above
3. I have no idea
4. From what I’ve gathered any time you crank on the torsion bars it is a good practice to get it aligned.
