2wd 2005 f150 torsion bar adjustment to lift front end

I wanted to put bigger tires on my truck, something more agressive. Is there a torsion bar? Can it be adjusted? How? If not what is the biggest tire i can put on with my stock 17" rims?

I bought a 2 1/2" leveling kit from Daystar for about $65 and installed it myself, easy.

biggest tire I'd go with would be a 285-75-17. IIRC that is about a 32.5" tall tire. I am running with a 2.5" level kit up front as well. all the kit is are spacers that goes between the front shocks and the shock tower. gives it a good stance and allows that 32 to slide in there.

now I am running a 275-75-17 goodyear wrangler, was on the bfg's in my sig. the 10 mm of width saved me about 300 dollars. :P

don't forget if/when you do that spacer kit, you need to adjust your headlights...you will blind some folks at night if you don't.



edit to add, these trucks don't come with t-bars. its a coil-over-shock setup with lower control arms. similar to a strut setup.
