Advice on brands

This probably doesn't belong in the suspension section but...last night I cranked my torsion bars on my Supercrew. I turned the adjustment bolt 4 times per side in order to get my 33x12.5's X-terrains mounted on 16x10 wheels to fit (well I will have to just barely trim some plastic). Anyway I hate the ride with the torsion bars like this. So now I'm pretty sure I will just go ahead and put a body lift in it. I'm thinking I'll untighten the bars until I'm satisfied with the ride and then go for the body lift. My question is what is the best brand to go with? Do any of them include brackets for your bumpers, hitch, and gap guards? Also some pics of some of your trucks would be great especially if you have a combination of torsion bar cranking/body lift. Thanks guys.

Oh yeah... I don't think it will hurt to drive it for a week or so with them cranked without getting it aligned...what do you guys think. I'll probably wait on the alignment until I get everything the way I want it...that way I won't have millions of dollars in alignments.

You are on the right track. I wouldn't drive around for weeks without an alingment. I would back off a 1/2 turn at the time untill you are satisified with the ride. As for the body lift, go with the Performance Accessories kit. It contains everything you need including front and rear bumper relocation brackets, steering extension, etc. The only thing extra you need to get is a set of their Gap Guards to cover the gap in the wheelwells. I have several pics in my gallary.
