hey guys i was wondering how much degrees of camber is needed to jack up the torsion bars to get about 2" or so of lift. ime considering buying a camber kit that will give +2.00 to -2.00 degrees of ajustement b/c last time i tried my factory camber ajustment wasn't enough and i had to lower the truck back down.
 
if you just crank the torsion bars they will eventually sag. I know this because i did it, then researched why. The torsion bar was designed to be set in a specific range, when you exceed that range the bar will eventually fatigue and sag. They have re-clocked torsion keys that will provide that 2" lift without twisting the bars out of their range. as far as camber change, you should do what is necessary to make sur your alignment is correct, as this can lead to a variety of problems from poor handling to tire wear.
