Default Torsion bars?

How do you "tighten" the torsion bars on 99 i believe. A friend op mine has 4X2 and would like to raise it up a little. DO you have to take off any parts or can you simply tighten the bolts, or whatever is needed, to bring the front end up.

Thanks!

just found out 4x2's do not have torsion bars.

I'm looking to do it to my truck, and I came across that.
