Default torsion bars

i have a 97 4x4, got some 2 inch rear blocks for the rear, wondering if i crank my torsion bars up on the front to even the lift out if that will be bad for my truck at all?

Just crank your stock torsion keys level and you'll be fine.

Well you'll only get the frontend up 2" so you'll still sit stinkbug if you added 2" blocks in the rear.

Keep in mind by cranking your T-bars it will stiffen up the ride a bit... And it will put more wear and tear on your front end ball joints/boots. Some guys will tell ya they have had no problems so far and there t-bars have been cranked forever but it's different for every truck.. But ya bud good luck on leveling it. Hope it works out.
