01 Screw Best Lift

So i have an 01 supercrew and im not wanting much of a lift being as im a single dad and it's kinda a pain climbing in and out but im wanting like a 33' or maybe even 305. What's the best way i could do this and i would prefer a cheaper route if possible. Thanks in advance!!

np

you can crank the tbars to level and fit 33"s easy or 35"s on stock wheels. if you did a BL you can do 35"s on aftermarket wheels and they cost about 175 but are a pain to install and time consuming

Right, you can fit 33's on a stock 4x4 easily.

Will crankin the torsion bars up cause me any probs with the front end? Is the kit you can buy with new keys, block for rear and shocks really worth the money? I think it's 2.5" keys with 1" blocks in rear. Around $345 is what i can get it for with all new shocks. I like stock wheels but really waiting till i can find some FX4 wheels. Then Just want to run some Nitto Trail Grapplers on those wheels. Around a 33 is what i was going for.

I have 33's stock except the front valence it trimmed a little. Body lifts are not that hard to do-just a couple of freinds and a weekend!! My uncle and I did one on his 98 w/ some freinds and we had access to a forklift to help lift the body off. I have seen it done w/ some freinds and a couple of floor jacks to lift the body to get the spacers in.

You Do NOT want aftermarket keys...they go too far. If cranking stock keys is not enough, then do it right and get a lift. Rancho is a very nice 4" lift. Extremely happy with mine.

I agree with Galaxy. The aftermarket torsion bar keys have to be the worst product ever made.

a friend just sent me this...

Lift Kit

With shocks, would this be a bad idea for $209.00?

I have a combined 200,000 miles on two trucks with the stock bars cranked as far as they'll go and never a single problem.
