Default Torsion bars?

I realize there is probly a thread for this already, but im not about to look lol. I would really appreciate some insight into torsion bars, i have a 02 fx4 screw and i hate the low front end and dont really want to buy a leveling kit, so will cranking the torsion bars work or no?

-thanks

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've been asked this...yes get under your truck and look for the long rods that run from the bottom of your lower control arms back...there will be a bolt for for each T bar...crank it up and you have a level truck.

A impact gun will make it nice...but you can use a ratchet if need be. Jack it up and put it on Jack stands when you do it....it will take the pressure off of them and make it easier....
