| ok, so i have a 2001 F150 4x4 supercrew with a 6 inch fabtech lift and am running 35" bfg's. i can fit 36s but i want to upgrade to 37s or 38s without rubbing, so im wondering if maybe i can put torsion keys in the front and put an add-a-leaf on the back? to put about 2 more inches on it or will the toursion keys mess up my ride or conflict with the lift? |

You're probably better off running a 2" body lift at this point. I've heard that the Ford's don't play well with a medium sized lift kit, plus torsion keys.
The add-a-leaf springs will ride like crap too. You'll be miserable with those in the back.
At least that's my humble opinion. ;)

| I agree on the add a leafs. They are rough riding for sure. The body lift will be nice, and your truck will ride exactly the same as before you put the body lift on. Just taller. |

| But don't go more than 2" on the body lift (maybe 3", at the very most). |

The pre-runner fenders look good on these year fords, I dont know if bushwacker has a cut-out flare for these years. But the pre-runner fenders look real good and give you mega room. Its weird to me that you can put 33' on on with no lift or the keys just cranked but get a 6" lift and can only go up one more size to a 35. |
