2 more inches?

I have a 3" body lift with 35's and I want just a little more without having to buy a suspension lift. Is there anyway to get about 2 more inches without a suspension lift? If you have any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks!!

One other question...does cranking the torsion bars cause your tires to tow in?

I believe it can, but an alignment will almost always correct that. I would never crank my torsion bars without getting an allignment soon after, unless it was a very minimal amount, but what would be the point in that

Once you crank up the torsion bars, your only option is a full suspension lift.

good jokes! Is it safe to ride on torsion bars cranked all the way? I dont wanna ruin my brand new tires. I know that I will need to replace my ball joints soon after though.

Yeah, mine are cranked almost all the way up. Just don't add those dang aftermarket torsion bar adjustment keys and add excessive preload.
