No, The Silverado 1500 does not have torsion bars it has coil overs and shocks. All 4wd silverados have them and the 2500HD 2wd also does.
Take the truck to your local Chevy dealer and have them adjust the torsion bars to lift the front and then do a realignment. About 100 bucks. New torsion bar keys are not needed.
You must crank the bolts on the torsion bar clockwise to lift the vehicle
Turn the adjusting bolts.
No, not all 2001 Chevy Silverados have torsion bars. The 2001 Silverado was available with both torsion bar front suspension and coil spring front suspension, depending on the specific model and configuration. Typically, the 1500 models used torsion bars, while the heavier-duty 2500 and 3500 models often used a different suspension setup. Always check the specific model and options for accurate details.

Yes, a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2WD is equipped with torsion bars as part of its front suspension system. Torsion bars allow for adjustable ride height and provide a durable means of supporting the vehicle's front weight. This design helps improve handling and ride quality, making it a common feature in many trucks of that era.
Crawl under the truck. Look at the torsion bars (if you can't find the torsion bars, just take it to a shop and have them do it). The torsion bars will have a bolt at each end; take those bolts out. You might want to have the frame held up with jackstands when you do that, I'm not entirely sure how much the torsion bars are involved in keeping the truck from falling on your face (probably a lot).
