I decided to try turning up the factory keys that came on the truck before spending any money on an alternative (green keys, lift kit, etc.). In less than 1 hour I was able to raise the front 1 3/4" and still have at least 5/8" of adjustment threads left. When I raised the front the rear went down 1/2". At the same time, within the one-hour, I put on 4 Chrome H2 17x8.5 wheels with 315/70R/17 BFG tires and my original center caps. I had to tie back the parking brake cable and trim the bottom of the air dam.
The final height with the torsion bars cranked and the new tires is 4 1/4" higher in front than stock and sits almost level. If anything the front appears slightly higher which is what I wanted. The ride is exactly the same IMHO which may not be worth much, but my wife has ridden in it 3 times since done and she says that it feels the same to her. I now have the look/stance/ride I want and no more $$$$.
Check the pictures in my link!! I'm very happy!!
