I am giving my 2001 Ford F150 4x4 to my son as his first vehicle. It needs a new set of tires and I purchased a set of 20" Pro Comp rims from a neighbor years ago and never used them. He was running a 6" full lift kit (Fab Tech I think) with 36" tires. I don't want anything jacked up that much. I am thinking a set of Nitto 305/50r20 which is a 32" x 12.5" tire. I only need a 2" lift to make this work.

Does anyone have experience with torsion key leveling kits? If I only need 2" will this tear up the CV and ball joins? We have 3 small shops in town and they all want to sell me a $1700-2500 full lift (4-6") and tell me the torsion keys are junk. What is the truth.

Thanks for any advice, Tim
