No much you can do with the front other than an actual lift kit.

Or keep the body since he's already installed it and throw a suspension lift on top.

X2 or you could run a 37, do a small block in rear with torsion keys up front, but remember w bigger tires comes alot more wear / tear on the ****ty ifs.

He said he already cranked the torsions, so his only options really lift are either a 4 or 6" suspension lift. Those aftermarket keys are worthless and will wreck the front suspension. But if your planning on going up to 37's or 38's don't forget gears, your transmission will thank you.

I have a 3" bl and 35's, plus an aal on the rear. I have about 1.5 inches of rake due to that aal. I want to get an RCD or Rancho lift, set my torsion bars back to stock, then I should be close to level. I figure if I lose the 2" I got from cranking torsion bars, then put a 4-5" lift, I should be good to go.
