hello FRF im new to the sitr and am hoping this is in the right section. anyways, i have an 01 ranger edge 4x4 and am putting in a suspension lift this weekend, torsion keys, shocks, add a leaf. my quesiton is whether or not i have to split the stack of leaf springs and put the add a leaf in the middle it is a short leaf spring that im adding(the driections do not specify). also, how much lift can be expected from this in the rear?

do not get torsion keys you do not need them! just do the torsion bar crank, and i suggest for shocks get the bilsteins 5100 gives you 4 inches of lift, and im not sure about the add a leaf
