Default F150 leveling question

http://www.ebay.com/itm/260867908342...84.m1423.l2649

Looking to get a 1inch rear lift with aluminum blocks, 1.5 inches in front with torsion keys, what yall think. 2000 f150 4wd lariat 5.4L. wont see mud very often, i dont want to do this if it will drastically wear stuff out faster. any ideas apreciated, looking to fit 33's. will this hurt my already terrible gas mileage a lot ? Thanks

Torsion keys are a waste. Just crank the torsion bars and get an alignment. You will be able to fit 33s.

Here is my 1999 with torsion cranked up and I'm sitting on 315's with stock fx4 wheels they will rub frame only when I turn all the way. I had to trim my valance just a little.

how are torsion keys a waste? i thought they were re-indexed, instead of cranking the stock ones all the way up and making the suspension hard in the front
