    Ok I am looking to get 33's under my 99 F150. I don't have the cash to do a $1500-2000 lift but I know I need new shocks for sure. I was looking at the torsion key and block packages from RCX and Tuff Country. Any recommendations, I will be off road a bit but nothing too extreme...mostly highway and winter driving.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Would I be a complete idiot for going with one of the premade kits with shocks....since I need shocks anyway...is it still a waste of $$??
