Question "cranking up the torsion bars"?

Hey guys, i have a 02 f-150 fx and i was wondering how much i could turn the bolt and still not have to worry about it. And also how close to level can i get the truck by doing this? Any help would be greatly apreciated. THANKS!!

I got about 1.5 inches out of mine and I could have kept going. I just left a little room for mine to be "cranked" more if I wanted to.

Has anyone considered the limitation of travel left in the stock shocks, now that the suspension is now already extended another 1.5 to 2 inches? Does there still seem to be enough travel left in the front shocks?
