waste of money imo.. look on ebay for lift shackles. probably $50. then if you want to upgrade your shocks you can get rough country ones for $35 a shock. then crank your torsion bars in the front and you have a $200 rough country lift

Yep, the keys in that kit just let you "crank" your torsion bars higher than the factory allows. Which cranking your factory keys too far is bad. So yeah...

Keep in mind on your shackles. The lift of the shackles will be half of the total lenth of the shackle. IE a 2 inch shackle will lift 1 inch. But most shackles are identified with the amount of lift they provide. Then take the money you saved, and get some lights or something else.
