For example, that torsion key lift is probably $150 or so, plus an alignment, so you’re looking at $225. The 3” body lift is $275. If you wanted to crank your stock keys to level the truck out, that’s free, plus the cost of an alignment.

So for $350, $125 more than the torsion key lift, you can half a respectable 3” lift that retains the factory’s reliability and rise quality (more or less), you’ll be able to clear 33” tires, and you won’t have to worry about burning through balljoints and CVs.

To put that extra $125 into perspective, that’s the cost of replacing one CV axle.

Yep that's me. At one point I planned on swapping the truck to 4wd but ended up buying a Jeep back in 2016. Ended up selling the ranger last month and bought something I can tow with.
