Default help with torsion bars???

i have a 2000 f150 4x4 with a 3 inch PA body lift, 2 inch rear blocks and 2.5 inch readylift (keys) in the front.what does everyone truck ride like with the t-bars cranked all the way? really rough? how is it on front end parts? my truck does not set level down 1 inch in the front i want to make it level so i can put some 36's on her.

I've never used the aftermarket lift keys but always have my stock ones maxxed out(rides great). If I was you I'd just go ahead and level it (bout 10mins to do) and try it. I bet it ain't much difference.

Most people will tell you yes but I have raised mine and not got the alignment and never noticed and greater ware on my tires. But if you do start to notice some then you can just go get one done.
