Is this worth it? Should I just wait and get a more expensive possibly better quality one later? I've heard different stuff about cranking the torsion bars and that worries me a little about this kit. Is that justified or should it be alright?

Its just blocks for your leaf spring and a torsion lift, simple as could be.
You get what you pay for though. It'll lift your truck up, despite it being the best option or not. I have a torsion lift on my truck, not the leaf spring blocks though. __________________________  2005 Ram Regular Cab Long Bed 5.7L Hemi, AFE CAI, Magnaflow Catback, Superchips 3815.

I thought I remembered readering somewhere that you could only turn the torsion bars so much before running into trouble with the suspension. It seems like a good deal, but I want to make sure it won't have longer term effects and make something fail. It talks about alignment specs. Can you really reach the right alignment specs after this type of lift. I'm not familiar enough with the where the adjustments are in the alignment to bring it back in. I know that without, it'll run on the outside of the front tires.

The kit won't increase front end travel, it'll just change where your suspension rests in the arc of travel. You don't want to crank the front up more than 2-2.5" anyway. Plus, the blocks will probably lift the rear 2" and still leave you with a bit of rake. Better off just going with new keys and some Bilsteins and skipping the rear blocks.
