Ok so since I'm gonna be doing the superlift and im gonna have the truck torn apart my question is would it be worth my while to put 3in lifted torsion keys in (also can I do a TT after these are in?) And do a SOA in the rear to get the most lift I can out of it? (Also about how much lift does the SOA give... 4-5" is my guess)
 
why not just get the 6" superlift instead of the 4"?

you could still do th TT, but just like on a stock truck, watch the angles of the shafts... i forget where i saw it, but recommendation was to never exceed 30 degrees for the universal joints.
 
Travis, Putting the keys in while doing the Suprelift would be the best time since you'll have eveyrthing torn apart. The SOA will give you a 6-7" lift in the rear depending on the axle perches you weld on (figure the height of the axle and the extra 1"+ from the perch).



I would get the Superlift CV axles if they still sell them since you wanna go with 3" keys.



I personally wouldn't do the keys, or atleast 3" keys. I'd stick with 2" max since you have a 4wd. You're gonna have to replace frontend parts regularly with this setup but if this is what you wanna do more power to ya. I'm just holding off til I can do my SAS, SOA and have strongeer axles, parts, etc. and more "actual lift/ suspension travel".
