so how much of a pain inthe *** was it to do the torsion keys, because i was looking at a 2 inch lift tat came with new torsion keys, upper control arms, ball joints, shocks, and rear shackles for $490, just wondering

the torsion keys werent real tough, but the torsion bars didnt pull forward because of them being rusted. so i had to take the cross member that the keys sit it off and bang the hell out of them till keys came loose. then it was easy.

i saw that kit but ended up getting the keys and shackles for about 150. might be worth it if you need upper ball joints, but dont think the new a-arms and stuff really are needed.

i had to crank the #$^% out of my t bars to get my tires to work so now its got a little negative rake.i need to lift the back a little more, has any one done shackles and add a leaf together? will this be way to much?
