03 2500HD needs raised in front

Hey Guys, I usually post on the 67-72 area since my 'hobby' truck is a 67 SB. I just bought a 03 2500HD 4x4 with duramax and the front suspension needs to come up some (needs more suspension travel) It nearly sits on the bumpers on the A arms and rides rough. I assume that the torsion bars are adjustable. Can someone fill me in on the details? Thanks! Chuck

You can adjust the torsion bars up as long as you use a tape measure to keep it even side to side. You will have to have it aligned however as ride height changes will completely change the alignment and cause tire wear.

the easiest way to make sure you keep both sides level with each other is just count the number of turns you go on each bolt and keep them equal and like said have it aligned as soon as possible after doing it.
