Well there isn't really a "set stock height" Torsion bars and their settings will always differ, even from the factory. The only thing that you need be concerned with is your front angles after you crank. If they are too extreme you will see it and feel it. It's not worth an extra inch to ruin front end components all the time and have the truck ride horribly. If the truck rides good now then that is an indicator you're okay and may have more room to crank. Get a picture of your front CV angles and a picture of the Tbar bolts so we can physically see where you're at.

Yep you want it obviously to sit perfectly level but everyone has some sort of angle. When your cv axles look like /\ is when it's bad. If it doesn't ride horribly and sound like a 2x4 snaps in half over speedbumps then you're good. Another thing you can do is measure how much thread you have left on your tbar bolt. IF there isn't atleast an inch of thread, don't crank. If you still got that much then give it a nother couple turns. It's also alot easier to jack the front up when you do it. Takes all the load off, the difference is amazing.
