Lift Kit or sorta

OK need some advice my fellow Ford truck enthusiasts!!!!Going to get a torsion key lift for my 2000 F150 lariat. Which is the best one to get and where to get it? Also how long does it take to put in would love to do this ASAP so immediate answers and replies would be lovely. Once I am done with this I cannot wait to get pictures on my profile to show everyone how they affected my future lifted truck!!!!

You should be able to get 1.5 - 2 inches outta the keys you got now, you shouldn't need new keys.

It only takes about an hour to change out the keys.

about 10 minutes to crank the ones you already have.

Your truck will fit 33's stock, without touching the keys (assuming you have a 4WD, because 2WD's don't have torsion bars). I have 33's on mine stock, and can fit 35's with a little trimming without touching the keys.

scbigboy: Jack the front of your truck up and turn the bolts (inwards) that adjust the keys. Make sure you do both the same ammount.

And get your front end aligned if you do more than a few turns or you will be going through tires pretty fast.
