Only the front. Count the turns to keep it even then take for a short bumpy drive and measure with tape to check ( on level ground )

Is the nz rocky the same as the Feroza? With IFS in the front? If yes,
then the answer to your question is a yes, all Rockys/Ferozas have torsion bars
for the front.

Btw Why are you asking about Torsion Bars? Are you planning to do a suspension lift to accomodate
bigger tires? If yes, then the maximum tires that you can accomodate by twisting your torsion bars is
about 31". You can visit WARFS too and read some artciles about doing some body lift and suspension lift
on your Feroza . If you need to install tires 32" and higheryou need to do some body lift.

I suggest that you put spacers in your A arm to reduce the need for twisting your torsion bar to the max.
Here is a picture of the spacer.

Here are some pictures of my Feroza that has 32" tires and a 2.5" body lift and 1.5" suspension lift.

I hope I was of any help :)
