well last month I put a 3" body lift on the truck and this month I bought some rims and tires. the tiress are nitto mt 35 12.5 18 and the rims are kmc 18x9 bs is 4 5/8" I had to crank the torsion keys all the way down I ordered the ford keys to put in the front. Tires do rub a little when I crank the wheel. so I hope to lift the front another 1/2-3/4". In the far future I would like to do a 4" or 6" suspension lift; not sure yet. I have some pics on the way

pics are here, I had some minor rubbing in the front I put the fords keys in and raised the front up another inch. Now I have no problems.


I would like to get a suspension lift; I just do not know what one to go with. My choices are super lift fabtech or trail master. What would you do? what makes one better then the other?

sorry about the picture quality.

I have a 02 4x4 and want to level out the ride. So you guys are saying that cranking up the torsion bars will level it out, or will the front end be a little lower still? I also heard somewhere in here that if you put in the ford keys you won't have to crank em up as far? I really don't want it to be hiher, just more level in front compared to the stock jacked up back ends.
thanks. :)

you can crank the bars to level it out.

I think you'll find that the front will still be a little lower just by cranking up the keys... you'll probably want to get the Ferd keys. That's what happened with mine anyway. Besides, the Ferd keys are cheap... like $46 shipped, I believe. I had a buddy with power tools and a lift put them in in about 15 mins.
