Question 04 Silverado 1500 Z71 Leveling

I want to lift the front of my 04 Silverado 1500 Z71 to be level with the rear. I only need to lift it about an inch and a half in order to level it out. I know you can lift the front of your truck by turning up/down the torsion bars but I have heard you can't lift them very much by doing this. Any information/help on how to do this?

Depending on the condition of the bars (if they've never been messed with, you're prolly good) you can get 2" easy out of them. Will be plenty for what you're lookin for

Default z-71

if you can get enough adjustment out of them you will have to get a frt end alignment . if not get a set of frt sway bar key's that will lift it enough . this is a sample

If it's z71 it'll have torsion bars. If it's 2wd then it'll have coil springs. You should have torsion bars bein z71
