Can you raise the riding height by adjusting torsion bar?

Can you raise the riding height by adjusting torsion bar?

Yes, but within reason. Too high (or low) and you start screwing up the front end alignment.

We used to raise the Gran Fury front height 1/4" higher than the rear on the 82-89s. Saved ALOT of K-frames on the RMPs!

If you set the ride height too low, you may experience tire rubbing when the front wheels turn to the right or left.

And make sure you take the weight off the front wheels before adjusting the torsion bars.

Additionally, outside of the "more center" part of the adjustment, more pre-load = higher spring rate and the opposite for less pre-load adjustment.
