Levelling the truck: Input Once & for All

[Mawgie]

Folks -

I know this topic has been posted before, but I'd like to gather all the options together, then vote on them.  What's the best way to raise the front of the truck so it doesn't look jacked up, without compromising ride quality or the wallet too much? (NOTE: This effort is not for offroading or larger rubber.  It is only to stop being annoyed every time I look at my truck, and say to myself: "That d*** thing ought to sit straight.")

 

Crank up the torsion bars: (+): free; (-): can compromise ride quality and screw up alignment.

 

Lift kit: (+): well engineered fix that won't screw up front end of truck; (-): cost, I imagine you might need new, longer shocks,  but I don't have a good handle on how much a good quality front end lift would cost.  In other posts, i have seen a "Hill levelling kit" spoken of highly, but don't know the deal.  Please inform this dumb Newbie...

 

Thanks for helping me get my truck on the straight and narrow....

I cranked my torsion bars 5 turns and had the front end aligned. It worked out fine for me. I am planning on changing the shocks so I am not worried about that.

Well, I did the t-bars for short term height until I get the lift kit.  If I was going for just a level ride and leave it at that I would either get the hill 4 wheel drive leveling kit or higher rated T-bars.  Both essentially will cost 250 and require a t-bar puller and a front end allignment.
