Lift

Does this cheap kit look legit?

Torsion keys + add-a-leafs.

Stay away.
You should be able to get the safe maximum amount of lift (1.5-2") just by cranking your torsion bars using the stock keys. Any higher than that will take a big toll on your balljoints and CV axles.
Extended rear shackles also won't stiffen up the ride like add-a-leafs will.

Do what 4x4Junkie has mentioned.

Crank your torsion bars = Free

Belltech 6400 Shackles= $60

If cranking them is the same as buying the key--why do they even sell the key?

cause they are hoping people are ignorant enough to buy something they dont need. its like any sales pitch, they tell you that you need it. plus they are a pain to put in. I cranked up and put shackles in the rear. have no problems at all.

so you can over-rotate your stock bars and have a CV joint failure 500 miles down the road.

Also, you get a hell of a hard ride out of it...

Save up and buy a 4" lift that actually lowers the diff.
It is pricey KA-Ching, but you end up with a lifted truck you can put a good size tire on and a decent ride.
Remember though, if you increase the tire size you will decrease the overall performance, not so much on the trail in low lock rock and roll but on the street and in 4 high.
You may have to consider a gear change $$$.
