I've heard that there's a way to slightly lift your truck w/out having to buy anything. How would I do that?

Crank the Torsion bars up 1 1/2. You wont need shocks or keys and you still have 1/2 inch to crank and its a good stance. Get a wheel alignment afterwards as soon as you can though.
Yes, the caster will be effed up by changing the key level.
I would just get a measuring tape and measure the length of the fender to the ground on both sides before and after the torsion bar crank to make sure they are even. Dont forget though the drivers side will always sag because of the gas tank.
Get a roller jack and jack up the front crossmember in the front of the truck. Then put some 2 jackstands underneath the crossmember. Then find the right size socket (Not sure) and just startin cranking the bolt into the keys!
ok, so it was cranking the torsion bars i was thinkin of. if i were to do this, would i need a two wheel, or four wheel alignment afterwards?
Not much adjustment in the rear other than putting it on a frame machine if the frame is bent. Don't pay extra for a 4-wheel on a truck because you'll get nothing for the extra cash.
