When you tighten the torsion bar you will cause the spring rate to change on the front suspension which means it will bounce a bit more, in theory. Also you will cause the top of you tire to tilt out since the upper and lower a arms are not exactly equal, so you may need a front end alignment too. I've adjusted both a 1992 and 2001 3/4 ton and never had any issue. Cheapest way to level the front end up.

What are torsion bars?
A torsion bar is used in an auto suspension. A torsion bar suspension, also known as a torsion spring suspension or torsion beam suspension, is a general term for any vehicle suspension that uses a torsion bar as its main weight bearing spring. One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite end terminates in a lever, the torsion key, mounted perpendicular to the bar, that is attached to a suspension arm, a spindle, or the axle. Vertical motion of the wheel causes the bar to twist around its axis and is resisted by the bar's torsion resistance. The effective spring rate of the bar is determined by its length, cross section, shape, material, and manufacturing process.
