That's so when you load the bed with stuff, it levels out and dosen't bottom
out the springs.

Cranking up the torsion bars shouldn't make the ride stiffer. The
spring still has the same spring rate, it's just that the lower control
arm is now at a different angle than before. What it can do is throw
your alignment off, which can wear your front suspension parts faster since
they're operating outside of their normal range.
A good raising/lowering kit takes this into consideration and keeps your
suspension and driveline geometry in spec, or gives you new parts designed
for the different geometry.
