wanna lift mt truck a little or cheaply its a 4.6l 4x4 with cab
it has many miles and pings on hills , if i do decide on a better lift then torsion keys i can always transfer to a new truck, an links to these lifts or price or experience post plz.
tires are kelly safari tsr lt285/70/r17 what size are these?
also the rear has blocks with a shoe thing stickin inward are these stock?
if i get blocks do i have to stack them or will they be taller enough to lift it?
if i wrench the front up a inch and get 2 or 3 inch rear blocks will it need longer shocks? the 3 inch block is angled
if i should have shocks too is this kit a good one http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-2003-4W...-/380849494408

why does it say 2.5 inch but it has only a 1 inch block?

1. Your tires are what people refer to as 33's, but look at the wear on your tires, and measure them, my brother has 37's bu they are worn down to 35's.

2. I am not sure on shocks, some people have told me yes, some have told me no.

3. I've heard blistein shocks are the way to go (I think I spelled that right lol)

4. I'm getting a 4" lift kit for about 500 bucks, the reason is, I'm getting it used off of a parts truck. People don't recommend this, but in my opinion, if the other truck ran on it, why shouldn't mine?

theres a lift kit on ebay thats 3 inches in the front can you really crank it up that high? do these keys allow it to go higher then the stock one?

the 2.5 rough country seems like the best deal, i asked the seller why its only a one inch block and he wasnt sure, if i dont need the shocks, i found a 3 inch angled block.
i wouldnt mind the rear higher thats what gets hung up the most
how high can i crank up the front with stock keys i think i herd its 2 inches

They might allow it to go higher,but it'll tear the truck up. Crank your bars,you can get 24.25" from the hub to the fender without putting a bunch of wear on it. It probably comes with a 1" block intending for you to stack them,NEVER STACK BLOCKS.

The reason that it is 2.5" with only a 1" block is to make the truck level. The front needs more of a lift than the back.

Those rear blocks are stock, and I pretty sure plenty of people have ran stacked blocks an been fine, but jacked up had a bad experience.

Jackedup00

Mine weren't stacked,they just broke. If stacked blocks do the same as breaking blocks,save yourself thousands and get a 3"

I stacked the 4" block included with my zone lift on top of the tapered factory block with the bump stops on it. But, I welded them together to function as a single unit. Your absolutely right on not stacking blocks. It can be very dangerous. ::

riderjay253

it looks like all the blocks are ment to be stacked, are there blocks that replace the stock one completely, so i would need around a 6inch block to lift 2 inches, angled would be nice too.
i may get a 2 inch block and a shackle for angle and exta half inch of lift its a 1 inch

also my front end is squeaky i checked the lower ball joints and they wont move side to side like in youtube videos ,when i pry it goes up and down abit?
the tire shop says its all bad and wont do alignment with out changeing it all for 2500 i feel no play inthe steering, i checked the pitman arm for play
