This was the kit i was planning on getting its a 2 inch lift it comes with bigger keys new shocks front and back newer control arms balljoints.. does the new control arm make a difference, and then a 2 inch body lift.

Please edit your post rather than posting three messages all back to back. PM me if you need further assistance. There should be no reason why you cannot post in the classifieds section.

To answer your questions, you can lift your truck enough using the stock keys that you will damage the CV shafts and blow through ball joints. Why change them?

The kit in your first link should help to correct for any camber issues that may arise from lifting it with the keys, but they will not correct the CV shaft angles or the ball joint angles.

Like everyone says... just don't go more than 1.5" on the front if you want your CV shafts to live.
