I'm running 18's with torsion and a center leaf flip with 3" blocks. It rides very nice. Here are some pics.

Hey thermus what do you mean center leaf flip? Did u flip the leaf?
Do you have any trouble with Tire rub when turning?

Take the leaf just below the top one and turn it upside down and put it on top.

As far as tire rub, I went up about an inch in the front from what you see in this pic. I had a little tired rub when turning full right. Now I don't. Running 17's you should be okay. Depends on tire width too. Also, I would re index your torsion bars instead of just cranking them. Makes the right a little stiffer and better.

If you re index you want to rotate driver side clockwise 1-2 teeth and driver side counter clockwise 1-2 teeth.

How much more drop did you get from flipping the leaf?

Not sure. I did that and the blocks at the same time. Lol. If it's not low enough with just the flip, you can just remove it. Will make it softer though.

One more question did you cut down your bumpstops? In the pics it looks like your bumpstops are square like... Idk might just be me...

Correct. They are cut just tall enough to clear the u-bolts.
