I was looking for people who may have had the same issue, again like I said if I wanted a lecture on suspension parts I would've asked, and I never said I didn't respect there feedback, so go find another thread to creep on....

Look man, the people on this forum giving advice do so because they're concerned about you wasting your time and money. Nobody is here to "talk shit"

Your torsion keys have a bad reputation with Ford Rangers, and the aftermath can be found here:

stacked blocks is bad. Aluminum blocks are even worse.

You already have the keys so just don't crank them over 2" also lose the aluminum block. Either get shackles or AAL. Either one will get you the lift you need and be way less sketchy.

I have my factory Torsion bars only slightly cranked and 2.5 inch shackles and AAL's in the rear and am running 33's. In my opinion I did it right and it has saved me a lot of money in parts having done so. That being said it's your truck so feel free to do whatever you want...

If you want a lot of lift out of the front end you're going to have to do a lot of work or spend a lot of money to do it right.

I am sorta in the same boat as the original poster. Looking to lift my 07 a little but on a budget. I do not want to just crank the t bars and have to replace everything else along with it. Are there any decent body lifts out there or suspension kits I can snag up for a good deal and install myself? Already tried going through les Schwab they don't do ranger lifts. I've been searching online for kits but for my 07 sport 4x4 all I saw were some $100 bushings or something. Thanks!

Performance Accessories makes a 3" body lift that comes with everything you need minus gap guards and the manual shifter extension. Last I checked, $216 for the whole kit. And from what every here says, you can do the whole thing yourself in 6-8 hours if you've got the right tools and the right mind set. I don't have one but I am trying to get one before Christmas.
