search torsion bar in the forum and youll find lots of info.

the general consensus is to crank the torsion bars so no more than 2" of lift is acheived. i agree with this since the "lift" puts stress on front end components. dont be worried though. many people have done this, including me, and have had no problems.

go ahead and do it. i think youll like the result.

I agree. Just crank them enough to level the truck. Don't forget to get an alignment.

Every truck is adjusted differently so it's impossible to give an exact answer.
