Yes you can Adjust the torsion bar to raise it. I did this on my 1 ton Chevy to raise the front end. I had an alignment right after and it has worked great ever since.
Under vehicle by end of torsion bar (side closer to rear of vehicle) there should be a 6-point bolt which when tightened or loosened will apply more or less tension to torsion bar.
on the new body style 1500 trucks there is no torsion bar. there is now a coil over suspension. to raise it and level the truck you will need a "leveling kit" typically comprised of a metal spacer that will sit above the coil over.

There is a bolt near rear of torsion bar (the end closer to rear bumper) which will increase or decrease the tension on torsion bar when you adjust bolt.

To adjust the torsion bar on a Peugeot 106, first, lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Then, remove the rear axle mounting bolts and lower the axle slightly to access the torsion bar adjustment. Use a torsion bar adjustment tool or a proper wrench to turn the adjuster bolt, which will either raise or lower the rear suspension. Finally, reassemble all components, double-check the alignment, and ensure the vehicle is at the desired ride height.
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.
