torsion lift

A person that I know said that I could get some lift out of my 88'4runner by doing a torsion lift on the front and then an add-a-leaf on the back.
Anybody confirm or deny such a thing. I am not wanting a huge lift, just a couple of inches.
Thanks

Do you know of any place to get info on it? Is it a good idea or does it just screw up the truck?
Thanks

Don't over do it on the torsion bar crank. I learned that the hard way and ended up having to replace both upper/lower ball joints, as well as the pitman arm and idler arm! See I have 1.5" lift shackles and an add a leaf, and I wanted the truck more "level" and boy did it cost!
