lift question
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Tuff Country 2" lift kit. I'm just looking to lift my truck a tad to have plenty of clearance for 33" BFGs. I've read some not so good things about what the torsion keys do to ball joints and I'm wondering if this is a valid concern. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Cranking the Torsion bars up without changing the keys will smoke the ball joints, no doubt. However, I believe that the new keys will eliminate that problem. Also, I got keys, add-a-leaf, and 4 skyjacker shocks (0-2" lift) for right at 375 from Summit. I think the keys are a little more now, but still worth it. I got 34" tires (295-70-17) Terra Grapplers from Nitto and they rock. I did the add-a-leaf instead of the blocks because I just don't like the idea of all my weight sitting on a square block.
