Torsion crank/Alignment question...

First off, I know that normally when you mess with the suspension you should do an alignment. Now I want to crank the torsion keys, but not sure if I will like it. Will it do any damage if I drive for a week or so without an alignment? If the ride gets too harsh then I will just put it back to stock and get an alignment if it is still needed.
Basically I just don't want to get an alignment and not like the ride, then drop it back to stock and have to get another alignment.

I don't think it would do any damage and for only a few days would probably no put any undue wear on the tires or front end. But, the ride quality would not be like it would if it was properly aligned. Meaning, you may think you hate the feel of the ride with the t-bars cranked but it may have smoothed right out if it was properly aligned.

In short if you crank your torsion bolts, you in turn are raising the front of your truck. Instead of spending money on a leveling kit, you sacrifice some ride comfort for basically the same lift. From what I have read you can get anywhere from 1-3 inches of lift to level out your suspension. If you prefer to keep the same smoothness in your truck you have now, then get the leveling kit. If you would prefer to save a couple hundred bucks then crank the bolts. I'm sure I am missing something so hopefully someone else will chime in.
