Most people just use shackles in the rear and crank the torsion bars up front, you can get anything from a tiny movement with the torsion to 3" or 3 1/2" if you shave the bumpstops(be happy with three it'll save you some effort lol) The only down side is the higher you lift it the less down travel you have, imagine it like this, in stock form the wheel can travel down 3"(it's probably more, but I've never measured so just roll with this) for every inch you crank up the torsion bar you take away an inch of downward wheel travel and add it the upward travel, so you're not losing travel, you're just pushing the actual suspension further down and lifting the car up above it.
