about that 5 inches of front end travel...
I have my torsion bars turned down quite a bit, and no it didn't hurt weight transfer on my car...it actually helped. My car sits pretty level though, this is not the best pic, but if you look close I think you can see what I mean. This gives me 4.5 inches of travel, which is the best I can do without changing to offset bushings to fix the camber issues that dropping the front end gives.
