Help W' 01' Lift

I have a 2001 king ranch and am looking to put a front end leveling kit on. It's hard to find one for this year of truck but the one I have found is fairly cheap but it said I need a ford torsion bar tool. Do I nessecarily need this tool? And also I am wondering if anyone has pics with 33's and a front end kit because thats what I am getting once I get this on...

You can crank the tbars uring oem keys and fit 33s on some nice aftermarket rims.

Using oem keys, you will be just fine.

THe leveling kit you found for your truck is just a set of reindexed torsion bar adjustment keys. THese allow you to put way, way too much preload on your torsion bars. THis will destroy your ride quality and lead to premature wear on your ball joints and CV joints. Just crank up the preload using your OEM adjustment keys.
I have several pics in my gallary at stock height with 33's.
