Alright everyone, thanks for the good advice. I cancelled my rape appointment and rescheduled with the same guys who sold me my tires for Monday. They work at $75/hr. So even at 3 hours it would only be $225. We'll see. I just torqued my T-bars. I think I've heard on here that one complete bolt turn will raise the front end 0.2 inches. I turned each bolt four times and then checked where I was. Holy $#!%. I was pointing into the sky. I backed them down one full turn (for a total of three turns), and measured. I had lifted my front end just about an inch. I determined this by two means: My skid plate is now 12.25 inches off the ground instead of 11.25. The front wheel well is also one inch further above the front tires than the back ones are. See photo below.
Q #1: Is it possible that, on my truck, for some reason, one turn = 0.33 inches instead of 0.2 inches?
Q #2: Does my truck look too front-high in the photo? I.e., does it look wierd?

[Note photo up-loading error. I'll try again later - so forget Q #2 for now.]
