hey guys, i have an 03 f150 reg cab shortbed and i am looking to buy a leveling kit (new torsion keys) with 2.5in blocks for the rear. the kit im looking at is from rough country which includes the torsion keys, blocks, hardware, and 4 new shocks for $209. my question is if anyone knows if its a good kit/deal and if anyone has any recommendations. Im also looking into some wheel spacers because i cannot afford rims and tires so i cant get a new set of rims with negative offset. any help is appreciated!

if you get wheel spacers, only buy bora and retorque them after a few hundred miles
The most you can jack your front end up to is 24.25" from center of the hub to the fender which stock keys will usually let you do. After market keys will allow you to go further which destroys front end components.
As far as the rear, they give you a 1" block if I remember right that you stack on top of your stock block. I think a sounder and cheaper solution is to crank your stock keys, and get an add-a-leaf in your leaf spring pack.
I've had a wheel fall of with wheel spacers, so I personally won't buy them. Some people have had luck with them, others haven't. I have 2 spare 17x9 XD series spy wheels with a -12 offset I'd sell you really cheap. They are 200 each brand new, I'll sell them for like 75 each and you pay shipping, then you'd be in 550 for new wheels.
Looks pretty level already. Almost looks like you just need to crank the front TK down a little.
It is leave right now, I'm parked on a slanted driveway in the picture. The reason I'm getting the level is because I want to another inch block in the back

I'm not going outrageous with the new keys, just so that its level. And what do those wheels look like?
