Default Sierra front suspension question...

I realize the front suspension on the 1500's is a torsion bar set up. My question is, is there an adjustment bolt that I can tighten to gain more clearance between the top of the front tires and the bottom of the fender?

Thanks!
Matt

Put a 2" leveling kit on it. 100$ for the kit, around $50 to install. Trust me it's worth it and also it saves the ride quality of your truck. Adjusting the torsion bars will not make your truck ride as well.

Crank up the stock torsion bars. I've had the Leveling kit and it made my truck ride like crap.

you can get about 2-3 inches from your stock bars and keys at the back oft the torsion bar there is the torsion key and on the end of it there is a bolt jack the front end of your truck up off the ground then tighten the bolt just make sure you tighten each side equally or else one side will sit higher than the other
