Default leveling kit question

hey guys i have a stock 98 f150, and i was wondering if i get torsion keys to lift up the front end 3 inches, and then buy a 4 inch block for the rear. i know it would not be level but my real question is if i buy they new keys will i still be able to crank to t-bars to level it more?

You would be able to but it would far pass any tolerance on suspension parts and pieces would start to fail at a accelerated rate including your cv axles. Would not be advisable

Because of cranking the torsion bars. You can only turn them so far. You really shouldn't turn them anymore than what you can with the stock keys. Anymore than that and you start wearing out suspension parts like said above. You can fit 33's with just the stock keys turned up
