Cranking the torsion bars

Has anyone else had any trouble with alignment after cranking the torsion bars?
I had my torsion bars cranked about 7 turns, giving me about 50 mm of increased height. It seemed like the truck was pulling harder to the right after that.
So, I left the truck with my Korean mechanic who was supposed to do an alignment while I was on vacation. I *think* he did the alignment, but he also un-cranked the torsion bars, dropping the front end back down. **The truck still pulls right, just not as hard**
If one torsion bar is cranked just a bit more than the other, could the difference cause the vehicle to pull a little more to one direction?
Additionally, I think the camber is off when I crank the bars. With the front end higher, the front tire bottoms are closer in to the vehicle, and the tops of the tires are further out. Just a little.
My plan is:
1. Crank the torsion bars back up to about 40mm
2. Get new tires
3. Check alignment
4. Drive it
