Front Differential Drop?

Does anyone have info on this. Like does it really help the angle of the drive shafts or is it even possible? I heard that you can just put spacers or washers inbetween. I was to crank the torsion bars, but i dont want to ruin my CV joints. i got a 2002 f150 by the way
thanks

I have a 1999 f 150 and cranked my torsion bars up about 3-4 years ago. 80k miles later and the CV's are fine. 215k on them with no issues.

I dont think you can hurt the CV's with the stock torsion bar keys. Probably could with the aftermarket ones though.

Thanks, How much did the realignment normally cost? I put a leveling kit on my dad's 2003 F250 and the realignment was near 300 because the entire wheel geometry was off or somthing
