you wont be able to match it, even with a torsion key lift, but you can get it close.

ok i figured out how to do it..but i got a question is there any effects on doing this...ik u got to get the front end re-aligned but is that about all i need to know

If you crank over 1.5", your ride will really start to suffer, and you will start to wear out front suspension components quicker.

ok so is all i have to do crank the torsion bars about an inch and a half and be done with it right??? i was also measuring from the ground to the start of the wheelup-molding and i noticed that there is a difference and the truck is lower on the left side than that right do i leave that like it is and just crank the bolts equally??? and can i do with the truck on level ground or is it best to jack the front end up???
