    How much can I lift the vx by turning the torsion bars with the 3 inch lift??... Can the vx be leveled just by turning the torsion bars??... My vx has the calmini lift bur currently the front part of the vehicle looks lower than the back by 1.5 inches aprox... Is this normal with the lift kit??

    In a word, yes, it can be levelled.

    You can crank the torsion bars to level off the vehicle, and this should be done/have been done when the new springs were put in the back.
    Angle of 'stance' is a personal thing, some like a tad nose down, others level.
    Also..the more you crank the T/B's, the greater the angle of your shafts/CV's.

    When cranking the T/B's..its best to index the bolts clearly so that you can crank them EQUALLY both sides.
    (Spraying them liberally with liquid wrench or similar a couple of times over 24 hours will help A LOT!)

    REMEMBER...after cranking to desired 'stance'..GET AN ALIGNMENT DONE !!
