Cranking Torsion Bars

Hey guys, I've been putting a lot of research into cranking my bars to gain a little lift. My only stumbling block is the cv angle. Does anybody know of a maximum operating angle range before problems become more likely?

Thanks!

If your keys are stock. You should be able to crank them as high as you want, without issues. The higher you go though, will equal more angle on the cv shafts and rougher ride.

I have two trucks with a combined mileage of ~280,000 miles, bars cranked to the max, and have never replaced a CV or half shaft...knock on wood!
