Also your ball joints will sit funny and you will be taking 5.000 to 10,000 miles off the life of those too. trust i have done this before. wasnt before long my wallet told me screw torsion lift and lower it back down. but if u dont mind all those problem (like i did) then go for it.lol cheapest way to go about this is put a leveling kit on the front then do a add a leaf in the back of a mild lift block. i think u do that for under $350 easy. hope this helps
my cvs didnt bind up until i cranked my 3 inch lift torsion keys all the way up
but that was about 5 inches of lift
i also cut 2 inches out of my rear shackles and they have held up fine (also helped pinion angle)

Thanks for al the responses . I'm obviously new here. I just came out of a dodge 1 ton dually only had he truck about two weeks. Drove about 200 miles in it yesterday and really liked the ride of it, hard not to coming from a dually. So I'm gonna have to do some more digging to see what will keep the ride but still give me an agressive stance
