I just bought my 02 fx4 and was gonna put a level kit on it but I keep hearing horror stories are they true

 

Can anybody help me out on this

 

turn your stock keys up to level and be done with it

 

Ditto... cranked mine up 2", installed 285/70 tires--looks like a different (better looking) truck. Just get it aligned after.

 

I cranked my keys on a stock 03'. Bottomed out the driverside key bolt with about 1/2" of bolt on the passenger side. Truck is still not completly level, still raked with my camper on. I guess this is more of a statement.

The question is should I go with 3" aftermarket keys? Either that or I am going with the 4" RCX lift...

 

The lift will give you better angles then keys. If you're gonna do that, go with a 5" and enjoy it

 

Crank stock keys, you'll be fine.

 

If it's a choice between in keys and rough country lift, get the lift. But like what everyone else said cranking ur stock keys is a food option too

 

I have already cranked my keys as far as they will go and still have the raked look.

My options are aftermarket 3" keys, 4" or 5" lifts...

 

I only have 2wd so I cant shed too much light on this but a buddy of mine used aftermarket keys on his gmc and he said his ride was shot after he installed them. And I believe a few people around here have said that too but im not too sure. Just crank the stock bars and get as close as you can and then throw the 4 or 5 inch lift on tgere!!
