ive done it on my 89, but i had to do it to level the truck side to side.... i replaced my lower left a-arm and accidentlly put the a-arm back on one notch to far and lifted that side to being level, lol.

im getting a 91 k2500 in about 3 weeks that id like to lift about 2" front and rear, would 2-3" be a good guess of how much the torsion bars can lift it?
