lift kit keys

so i want a lil bit of lift but i cant justify spending $1,200 on a lift. but i found a lift kit set for $200, 3inch torsion keys and 3inch lift blocks for the rear and i could fit 33's maybe 35's. but i have read soooo many pros and cons and people it worked for and others it didnt. does anybody have this set up on your truck? fyi my truck is a 2000 f150, 4.6 4x4

oh yes the airbags will help tons, but remember your gonna have to buy a drop hitch if you dont already have one.

and i saw this thread for a while, didnt realize it was you at first and since i know you haul heavy sometimes i figured id chime in.

PS, steve is weird.
