Well when i cranked my keys i maxxed them and only got 1.5 inches so i turned them down to 1 1/8 inches to be a little easier on the front. I was considering readylift because they "guarantee" no wear with 2.5 full crank and something about having a "different index that grabs the flat of torsion bar" that the copies failed to do. And I was drawn towards the extra height because i'm wanting AAL's and they'll around 2 inches to the back. Is something i could call them out on if something went wrong or would it be better to max mine for the 33's I'll be getting in the spring?

That company is nuts, there's no way they can guarantee no wear, when you crank up the front, suspension part angles go beyond what they were designed to and will shorten the life. Read the fine print of that guarantee, I bet it will give you some exceptions.
Crank the stock keys and spend your hard earned money else where
