Thumbs down Leveling kit and torsion bar crank ????

I own a 2003 dodge ram 1500 regular cab 4.7 4x4. About two new leveling torsion bar keys and my truck was a little too high in the front so I added 2 inch blocks in the back. Now it's too high I the back and i'd like to re-level the front a little bit.

Is it safe to crank the torsion bars using the adjuster bolts as well as the leveling keys.

Has anyone else done this. I know it's going to be stiff so I don't plan on crankin them too much. Just to bring the front up again


Any suggestions?

Change the blocks to 1" blocks. Go up anymore and you ride will be like skateboard. But hey, your riding in it not me.

Hell no!!! crank those bars! I think a regular cab truck with a stout level on it looks good. Especially when they are running nitto mud grapplers...

We need pics...
