Default Is there a way to lift the front of my 2011 2500 Burb...

...without putting a leveling kit on it? Seems like I saw a thread some time back where somebody did something to the torsion bars to lift it slightly. I searched for it but couldn't find it.

I'm not looking for anything more than an inch or two. The leveling kits I see all seem to be more than that.

Thanks!

Check out torsion bar keys that allow a lift on the front. I believe the 2500 still has torsion bars.

Yes, it does have torsion bars.

Be careful cranking your bars. If you go too far, you put unneeded stress on your cv joints. I believe the generally-accepted rule is no more than two ribs touching on your cv boots.

Google torsion bar cv angles for some light reading.
