Lift kit advise?

So I have an 02 Super crew with after market keys and blocks right now, running 35's. Truck looks great but I have torn up cv shafts and I don't even take it off roading. Well noticed a leak from the front diff, well turns out it broke the housing! So what would be the best lift kit to go with now? Has to at least clear the 35's since with the "leveling kit" it has now it clears em...may wanna go up to 37's since its time for more tires? Any advise on whats good and whats junk

i wouldnt say there is really a bad lift kit, i havent really heard of anyone having problems with the major brands like fabtech, RCD, BDS, RCX. anyone of those brands will do you good.

i would also get rid of those torsion keys and put the stock ones back in. those keys are allowing you put too much stress on your balljoints, CV's etc.. like you have already found out.
