Depends on year.
2005 and up have adjusters, 2004 and before you have to loosen bolts, reposition the control arms, tighten up everything and recheck to see if you got close.
Alignment is best left to alignment specialists, so if something goes wrong with it, you have recourse.

I did the 2" torsion lift and my camber wasn't bad at all. My tires are wearing evenly still, besides if they do go bad it gives you an excuse to go bigger.
I have had mine cranked for 5,000 miles and no problems at all.

Wow. That was stupid of me.
I just realized if you have 2005 or later, you don't have torsion bars.
Ding dang it!

I have a 1994 V8 4x4, it appears that the t-bars are bone stock and the truck is a low as it can go. I'm heading up. Anyone know what the largest tire without clearance problems I can go with just the T-bar crank, and perhaps an angle lock in the back to balance everything out? Thanks

I put 2 full rounds on mine, Kifted the fron about 1 1/2". Severely stiffened the front end. You will feel the bumps harder when your off-road.
I did it to keep the tires from hitting the fenderwell. I also went up to LT265/75/16 Durango XTR heavy duty A/T truck tires.
I noticed after 10K that it's wearing the inside of the tires unevenly. Recommend that that you take it in for an alignment/ camber check after you do this.
Sitting on a flat surface the nose is now slightly higher than the rear. Gonna add 2" lift blocks to the rear now :)
