I've had my green keys for about 6 months. I want to lower the front about 1/2 inch. If I jack it up and loosen up on the torsion bars will I need to have the front end re-aligned?

too lower the torsion bars you don't have to jack the truck up, only when raising the truck up again. and yes you will need an alignment once you drop them.
With in 2-4 turns you should be ok if more then tht then you will def need alighnmnet
Only went up about 3 turns on mine just this week, because I got new, bigger tires and I had mine aligned. I would rather just be safe then sorry. The Mickey Thompsons I bought weren't cheap and I don't want to buy anymore, anytime soon. Just my opinion.
I only want to lower it about 1/2 inch so 2 - 4 turns should be all. I'll do it without the alignment as an experiment.
yeah i thought that may be the case. I'm just a cheap bastard. I'll have to pony up the jack for an alignment !!
i dropped mine all the way this last spring.... completely unwound them. and i put on about 18k miles on my summer tires, and yes it was wearing more on the inside of the front 2, but not drastically. and it went down the road perfectly straight still. this was dropping the front probably 2-3"
