i have a '95 Hardbody 4x4, and i'm wanting to lift it the cheapest way i can so i'm going to crank up the torson bars and put blocks in the rear under the leaf springs but i can't decide wheather to do 2 or 3 inches or if i can do 3", and which would be a smoother ride? any info anyone can give me?

Yah you can get 3" out of it, but your front will be maxed and the rear will have axle wrap bad.
I suggest buy some shackles for the rear, or add a leafs, you can measure your leafs and match em up at the scrap yard, and bolt them in. Its cheap. Dont forget the idler arm brace.

I m gonna relay that 2 my buddy who is lookin for a few inches in his pathy. Whats a hardbody though, can he do it to his pathy?

No the Hardbody has leafs, you need F150 coils for the pathy lift.

personally i would not recommend a tortion bar crank
If you want extra lift i would spensd a few bucks and put a body lift on the truck to clear your tires your want
\When i bought my truck someone had a 3 inch tortion bar crank on my truck as far as ride ,........Let's just say if it wasn't for my 33 inch tires i wouldn't have had any suspention at all

We cranked up some T Bars on my buddys pathy and the ride was wicked stiff, hit a speed bump and it felt like there was no susp. at all

Yup its stiff alright, look at the bumpstops on the upper a-arm and see if there is any space. Try to give it a 1/4" space at least, that will improve the ride.
Or give it a couple of trail rides and let them settle a bit.
