It will be a real tight fit for those tires with no real lift. You'll probably have to trim a bit of you bumper valance and take off any mudflaps. They'll really fill the wheel wells. You shouldn't hurt anything by cranking the torsion bars 1.5" or so. Much more than that and you really don't have any down travel left, than it can cause problems with balljoints and stuff . Just make sure you get it re-aligned after you do it. There's really a huge amount of people with the torsion bars cranked, and I've never heard of any failures caused directly from it, just a bunch of old guys (no offense anyone 
) telling you it's bad with no explaination. It's no different than putting a coil spacer in another truck. Might also want to consider a body lift and just getting 33's? Good luck
