Default Need help/advise with torsion bars


Hi guys I'm new here and had a question about my truck. I got 2000 f150 2wd on 285/75/16's and I just had it leveled with a 2.5 inch leveling kit and a 3 inch body lift but I was going with a leveled look but I'm kinda leaning to the bully lean or front sitting higher. Can I still crank the torsion bars up without damaging anything like the stearing column or anything? Or should i just lower the rear. Want a second opinion before doing anything. Thanks guys. I can post pictures if yall need some. Also after them tires bald or find a good trade I'm going to get 35's so maybe leave it. I'm not sure yet just want some expert opinions thanks.

What type of leveling kit did you install?

The 97 - 2004 'Heritage' model 2wd used springs up front while the 4wd used torsion bars. This is because of how the front axle connected with the wheel hub.

I too would like to see a picture and point out what bolt you were tightening.
