First, I was wondering if I can up spacers in the front, if so, how big before I run into problems. Second, how much can I put in the back?? I have keys up front and .750 spacer in the back. Thanks!!

If you have torsion bars... then you dont have coils.. a torsion bar IS a spring..

you CAN do a 3 inch spacer in the rear and turn the keys up to 3 inches up front.. but the rides not gonna be amazing

As Mob said, no you can't put a spacer up front, you have torsion bars.

I've never felt comfortable with more than a 2" Spacer, some people say you can do more, but I wouldn't run anything past 2".

They make this sick billet 3in for them.. that looks pretty safe.... but i would NEVER go more than 3.. not even on bolt ins

Anything over 1.5" is sketchy unless you flex it out and get the perfect shocks spec'd out. I'm trying to find a set of h2 coils to try on another member's truck in hopes that it will sit about 1" higher than his sagged stock coil + 1.5" spacers.

The spacers aren't stock, just the coils are, and they are pretty worn out. I might end up getting some fresh torsion bars too just for the hell of it, I'm sure they are sagging a bit even with the keys cranked up quite a ways.
