the thing about these ifs fronts is that there is no real cheap way to gain lift. you'll spend at least 1k when you're done for more than 4 inches. you can crank your front t-bar bolts for 2 inches of lift up front. just remember to keep the same number of turns on each side, and get an alignment after. as for the rear, don't do blocks. I did and it made my truck ride like ****. i'd use shackles or an add a leaf. that'll put you right at 2 inches all around easily for under $100. look into new shocks also if you find yours are maxxed out. I went with the gabreal max control shocks and I found that even though they are an o.e.m. shock they were good for 2 inches.

Everyone is saying that Keys will ride like crap....I really do not want that. I can spend 1K for 4" max Don't want to go any higher......A 2" key lift would be ok, provided I knew they would ride ok. It seems to makes seance to use the keys, instead of torquing the torsion bars up.......
Am I understanding correctly that simply increasing the shock length, for example 2" (coilover) will give me that much lift?
I have been seeing lift kits with a great deal of suspension parts for 1K & higher. Then I will have to pay someone to install them. Sounds like $1500 easy for 4"

I just bought the 2000lb version of this jack on Friday :-)
OK...now I totally understand about the coil over shocks. I will not be off roading much either, just want the truck up off the ground. I can spend 1K on a lift kit, if there is such a thing. Might cost much more.
Have no idea on what to do about going to coilover's. I was reading someone's post about it, but had no idea what they were talking about. Seems like a huge expense to do so.
