Just crank your bars and put a 3" rear block. 3" rear block plus Ubolts = ~$50 alignment after cranking bars = ~$50-$80 done

 

what if you were to go with a 4 inch block for 2 inches of lift in the back would you need the 2.5 inch aftermarket keys for the front since it sits a bit lower? im really only looking for about 2 inches of lift

 

Aftermarket keys only provide you with a unsafe amount of "crank" that will tear up your front end in no time. 24.5" (someone please correct me if wrong) is the magic number for top of fender to center of front hub measurement. Anymore than that and you'll be spending more time changing ball joints and whatnot than driving the truck. (Exaggeration ofcourse) bottom line you prob won't be able to crank the keys up enough to sit level with a 4" block in the rear without destroying front end parts

 

The blocks and keys will not let you fit any bigger tires. Your gonna need a 3" bl to go 37"s I believe.

 

I know it will run 35s

 

so the safe choice is to crank the tbars and use 3 inch block for approx 1 inch of lift all around?

 

The safest is stock blocks with a crank to level. And dylan it will fit 35"s with stock blocks/keys. Greenhead your 1/4" high I believe...

 

Yup. Any bigger get a body lift or suspension lift. The reason torsion bars are adjustable is not designed to lift it (although a little leveling is okay) it's designed to adjust your truck back up to the right height if your torsion bars get weak and front end starts sagging, or if you put something heavy like a snowplow or a bullbar on the front of it. The suspension has a certain range of angles it's designed to work at. When you crank past that, expect frequent part failure/ premature wear and a rough ride

 

Cranking your t-bars hurts your ride. Plus with the kit you already get the blocks and u-bolts and a new set of shocks. I say go for it, that's what I have in my truck with 35's and it drives fine, better then stock even I'd say

here's a couple of pics it's a 97 so you can have an idea the stance of it when its done

 

Pretty sure the kit you have would be worse on suspension than cranking stock keys since it's allowing to crank higher
