do you not want a lift??? cuz if so then that should be the very next thing. At least a PA body lift thats only like 240 or something, then you could throw some 33" under that ol' truck. Now that would be sick my friend

Blackout - im guna tint/paint my taillights and as for headlights i want them but not high on the list.

Trailhunter - i want a lift really bad but money is isuue. When i get rims and tires and im guna get 33's and just get the torsion level keys. they will allow me to fit 33's

you can fit 33"s WITHOUT the torsion keys and you can fit em STOCK. All I had to do was trim my front valence a little as they rubbed it while turning. the aftermarket torsion keys are JUNK they allow for way too much pre-load on your torsion bars and screw up your cv/ball joint angles.A body lift is around $200-300 bucks.

i know this.
i just like the look of the front being level with the back.
and i know body lifts are cheap i just dont realy want one because i can already see my frame underneath and dont need to see anymore of it

Side steps will hide the frame some.

And you don't need aftermarket torsion keys to level out your truck. Just FYI.

I'm not sure you understand what the aftermarket torsion keys do. They don't actually level the truck out any. They just let you crank the torsion bars more than the stock ones do.
