Default torsion bars what to do ?

I have 99 250 LD 4x4 I was wondering if i cranked the torsion bars up would it affect anything like ride or front end alignment I was just wanting to level it out in comparison to the rear , any thoughts good idea bad idea or what?

it will ride a little stiffer but not like a log wagon , and yes you will have to align yer front end.........but it looks so much better when you do it.

was they down when you bought it or already cranked up a little bit?......because if somebody had already cranked them some and then had it aligned and you bought it and run them up some more it wudnt have had as much left , therefore they wudnt be much out of alignment.....
