Seems like it was 1" or 1 1/4". I put a mark on the head with a magic marker so I could tell how many turns I cranked.

This is from a previous post that I saved when I cranked by t-bars. And yes, I did get an alignment.
Measure the distance from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender Jack up the truck by the frame to take the load off of the bars to make it easier. Crank both sides like 3 full turns. lower the truck and measure the distance from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender. This will give you an idea of the amount you will need to go. If 3 turns gives you 1/2" and you want another 1/2" then jack it back up and give it 3 more turns. You may have to crank one side more than the other so its level side to side. I would go an inch at most. Make sure you get an alignment right away to keep from chewing up the tires. It's also not a bad idea to get it realigned about 6 months later in case the bars settle some.
