Lifted truck appearance question

So right now my k1500 has 3/4 ton springs and i cranked my torsion bars up to equal about a 1.5 or 2 inch lift. Its barely noticeable. I do have 235 75 R16s on it still and it looks alright as of now. Im thinking about lifting it an additional 2 inches and wondering what are all your thoughts on what its going to look like being lifted that much with only 235s....Do you think it will look stupid? I just bought these 235s a month ago so changing tires is out of the question plus i had 285s on it before and it took away way to much power it could barely get up to 75 mph. So would you just leave it how it is now? Or will it look ok if i lift it more and leave the smaller tires on it. Here is a pic of how it is now.

I'd leave it at that height. How much higher can you crank up your torsion bars? Not to mention, isn't that bad for them?

If you're asking for personal opinions, I'd say that for that size tire, how you have it now is about right. Going taller would probably make the tires look "smallish".
