Front Lift

I'm on a forum roll today...

Want to raise the front of my 05 Sierra K1500 just to level it out. Right now the front torsion bars are, as far as I know, set to factory specs.

1. How much do I need to raise it to get it level?
2. Can this much of a lift be accomplished with factory keys or do I need to buy a kit?
3. If I lift the front just enough to be level, is it going to mess with other front end geometry? What do I need to watch for?

This seems like a common quesiton, so if you know of another post that answers it please refer me.

Thanks.
