torsion lift
 
how many inches can you get out of a torsion lift?

The most agreed upon height is 1.5", it is possible to go higher but you run the risk of wearing out front end parts such as cv shafts and ball joints.

agreed.....1.5" seems to be the upper limit before you tear up your front end.

i did 1.5" and my cv boots slipped off, luckily i caught it and was able to fix it for cheap. other than that no issues at all....an alignment is a must afterwords.

Oh yeah, warthogdriver brings up a good point, you've gotta get an alignment when your finished, I forgot to mention that haha

I have a little more than 2" with mine cranked the whole way up, butttt then again I have went through a lot of front end parts...

You've gone through CV joints, hubs and ball joints like Charlie Sheen through cigarettes is what you mean...
