How much lift were you looking to get?
I feel the SLA front ends are pretty limited compared to TTB front ends when it comes to lifting. I feel they handle better and it is possible to get a 33 inch tire under it using stock parts. 33 x10.50x15 on a stock wheel will be rub free through most situations. Maybe rubbing at the extremes.
I'm not really a fan of lift keys... they tend to push the limits ball joints and axles when you crank the torsion bars to far. You usually end up with little to no drop left in the suspension and they ride rough.
I believe Rough Country has a 5 inch lift on the market for the past couple years. I know it comes with new knuckles and also requires the use of 17 inch wheels. Do it gets spend I'm sure.
Good luck as you research you way through this.
