lift question

A question for the suspesion guru's, I bought 2" lifting blocks for my '97 f150 and was what will be the best way to lift my front end to match? I know I can use the torsion bars to lift but will it be enough or is there another way to do it?

from what i've read the torsion bars would have been enough to level it without the extra 2" lift in the back...you might get close but it'll be tough...i think every truck has a different amount that the front end can be lifted depending on where the bars are set from the factory

I agree. Each truck is different. Most people can get close to 2 inches of lift out of the torsion bars.

So what can I use to bring the front end up to level it out with the 2" blocks added? I agree that you should crank the hell outta the torsion bars but want to know what I need to lift it with?

You will have to go with a full suspension lift then.
