I leveled my 2012 2500HD by cranking the torsion bars which is what the dealer is suggesting I think. The downside is the ride quality decreases. The upside is you still have the $2000 in your wallet as opposed to lifting the truck. I would suggest you have the dealer crank the Tbars to where you want it, drive it for a while and see what you think. If you like it, then have the front end realigned. So don't drive for three month cranked up without getting aligned you will wear your front tires. You don't over crank it, you don't have to worry about extending the shocks. I only cranked up to level the truck out.
