when I did the TT, I went about 1 3/4". Then I made my shackles the length it took to level out the truck. Then I drove it to sears and got the front end aligned. I have a 04. No camber kit. I am running 285/75/16's.

no camber kit is needed, its most likely only going to screw with your toe-in

I had mine done about 1.5". Same on the Ranger I had before. Aligned no problem. Thing is, you're not lifting the truck so much as you are simply adjusting the suspension downward. If you lift it 1.5" by adjusting the torsion bars, then you are losing 1.5" of downtravel in the suspension. If you max the torsion bars out there will be no downtravel and a darned stiff ride.
