torsion help

i jus bought a 91 extra cab already lifted. i noticed the back is higher than the front. up front theres a 4" pro-comp. in the back, the shackles look about 1 1/2 - 2" longer than stock, with an add-a-leaf, and 3" blocks. the question i have is, if i crank up the torsion, will it level off the truck?

IIRC.... the rear of a p/u is supposed to sit a bit higher than the front... that way when you loads her down, she dont look like she squatting to take a dump....lol

i jus cranked my torsions today. i had to wait for new bolts because the old ones was frozen. even the half moons was frozen to the bolt. so i jus broke the old ones. but anyway, another question. the rear of the torsion bar, where thers the adjustment bolt, the bar sits on that bracket on the frame. for some reason, my passenger side when i tighten the adjuster bolt. the the torsion bar lifts off of the saddle that it rests on. i even drive it around but it does not go back into its seat. any suggestions on why the bar lifts off?
