Quick and cheap lift

Trying to get a couple extra inches of clearence for my 2001 4x4 with ORP. I have 33's MT Baja's on there now.

I need to purchase new shocks, looking to get RS9000X all around.

I am thinking on getting leafs for the rear to raise it 2" and crank my T bars up a couple turns to get about 1" to 1.5" inches. Will doing this affect my driveline or anything else? I was wondering if anyone has tried this and what the results where.

Real lifts are sooo expensive! Stupid IFS!

Thanks for the help,
Rich

i did that along with my other lifts see sig, no probs so far pinion angle seems good, to get 1 1/2 inches out of your torsion bars you will have to crank all the wat tho, at least i did, and it will ride alot stiffer in the front

250Rider, Yes I used the stock rims 17" with the off road pkg. They fit nice with no trimming or other mods. I would not recommend going anything larger than that if you dont have a lift.

You can easily fit a 305/70-16 (33x12.50) on a 16x10 inch wheel on a stock 97-03 F-150 4x4. All you have to do is crank up the torsion bars and/or trim a little plastic off the front bumper's lower valance.
