Tightening the torsion bar keys, puts more preload on the torsion bars. This is how the truck gets its spring in the front. The more you crank them the more preload thus the stiffer the ride will get, including the height of the front end.
It is important to get realigned after messing with your torsion bar adjustment keys. Its not something you will have to do that day but it will be done. I didnt do it on my stock tires just to see what kinda damage it does and it will feather the crap out of a tire if you dont get an alignent. however i drove it that way for about 4 months and alot of miles. When I put my BFG's on it I had it aligned all at the same day.
