has anyone installed and pulled with a torsion key lift . how did it work could you let it down enough in the front end to get a smooth hook . Did it have enough room for 35 inch tires .

I think a body lift on these trucks is pretty involved due to the intercooler and all the other crap located on the inner fenders. Im running into clearance issues with my tire and rim combo. I did some fender and bumper trimming and im clearing my tires OK ( my wife complains when she has to take it) for street use with some cranking of the stock keys. But, when i back the bars off to pull i look like austin powers with the golf cart stuck in the hall way when im trying to turn around in the pits. So i think i decided im going to go with cutout flares and see how that fares as far tucking my tire and rim combo.

On another note, 35s and stock gears is probably fine for daily driving, but if your going to truck pull regularly, i would think 35s are a little to much tire for stock gears.

yeah I heard that the body lifts on my 07 were a %!&&^# , but i guess i'll bite the bullet . I Loved hookin with 35's on my old truck . We did very well with it and I sold to a friend of mine who still went out with it and won four times this year . He had me hook it twice this year cause he wasn't in town for a few pulls he really wanted his truck at . And that will end up costing me alot of money ( again )
