Next, take measurments using the hub as the centerline to the top of your fenderwell. This will be your reference point.

Now, get under the truck and locate the torsion bar. It's a long rod that starts behind your lower control arm and goes back to a crossmember under the cab of the truck. At the back end is your adjustor bolts which are on a lever type anchor at the end of the torsion bar....this is what you can adjust.

That big bolt goes all the way through the crossmember and has 2 nuts on the end...one is a jamb nut. Use a 19mm wrench to loosen that jamb nut first.

Then, put the wrench on the second nut, and use a breaker bar with a 19mm socket on the bolt itself (on the bottom side). Rotating the blot clockwise is cranking up the torsion bar. To get an inch, it could take anywhere from 3 to 6 full turns. It'll turn hard, hence the need for the breaker bar. Make sure the nut on top isn't just spinning.

Repeat the procedure on the other side.

Now that you've made adjustements, get in the truck and drive it a few feet (back up and pull back forward). Now take your measurments at the fender well again and check where you are in relation to that bumpstop.

Make further adjustments as necessary and repeat the procedure.

Be sure to tighten down that jamb nut when you're done.

Finally, you'll want to visit the alignment shop afterward because you've altered the toe in setting and probably the camber setting as well. You can reset toe with a buddy and a tape measure if you have to (let me know if you want to do this - it's pretty easy) but that camber setting is best done at a shop with the right equipment.

If you run out of adjustment before you get to your desired ride height (in other words, you run out of thread on the adjuster bolt), you'll need to reindex the Tbar.
