If I cranked up the torsion bars, could it hurt any of front end components, other than tires alignment? I cranked up 2" from stock height and while it does look better sitting level, I just am not sure if it would do more harm than good. Thanks.

We just had an extended discussion on this. Check out this thread:

Bottom line, 2" should be fine. HD CV axles are very stout. Many folks have run HDs for amn miles with cranked torsion bars. You will need to reset your toe-in though. Raining the nose with torsion bars causes the front tires to toe in, lowering the nose causes the tires to toe out.

Thanks for the info! I guess all I need to do is to get the front end re-aligned.
