Wouldn't recomend it but you can get about 2" most of the time. I would go to a junk yard and look for a zr2 then pull parts off and replace.

ZR2s are a different body style not sure you could even swap the parts over. Much more than 1" lift on torsion bars usually creates a bouncy and crappy ride. I did 1" on my 95 K2500 to level it out, it looked good but on good bumps it bounced like it had bad shocks. You could just do what I'm doing with my 85 S10, High Pinion 60, 14 bolt, 4 link with coilsprings, 39.5" Iroks

Cranking up the IFS is one of the worst (and dummest) things I have seen. You will destroy your ride, handling, blow CV's out, and destroy tires by having the front end cranked out. I cringe everytime I see a cranked out lifted IFS chevy turn and that inside front tire bends to almost a 110* angle. If you want it higher I would purchase and install a lift kit to keep proper factory IFS angles.

ditto everything he said (Bobby, what's wrong? we're agreeing. ) with that said, i drive an IFS truck every day with the torsion bars cranked. IT SUCKS. ride is terrible, i havent broken any parts yet, and one of my CV joints and my tires were messed up before i cranked it. as soon as the snow goes away, its coming back down. as much as i hate the rake the truck has, i hate the ride even more.
