Duramax Suspension

I HAVE A 2002 2500HD 4X4 AND IM TRYING TO FIND THE CHEAPEST YET DURABLE WAY TO GET ABOUT 3-4 INCHES OUT OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I LOOKED INTO GETTING THE TORSION KEYS BUT ITS THE SAME AS LIFTING THE TORSION BARS BUT WITH A SOFTER RIDE. IM NOT WORRIED ABOUT A SOFTER RIDE I JUST THINK THE LONG BED LOOKS STUPID. I NEED TO EVEN OUT LENGTH AND HIEGHT BUT NO MORE TAHN 4 INCHES???????????????

Cognito makes the best products by far but if you just want to lift the front a couple inches just crank the torsion bars. torsion keys will allow you about 1 to 2 inches additional height over just crankin the torsion bars alone. You should be able to buy the keys for about $100.00 then just pay for an alignment and install if you wish. However crankin the keys is going to make for a rough ride. You can get a 4 inch lift for under a $1,000 dollars if you look around that will allow your truck to ride like it does now.

If you really want to know what your trucks gonna look like lifted 3" in the front just stick a floor jack under it. Measure from the rim to the bottom of the fender well. Then jack it up 3 inches. It doesnt sound like much but just do this and you'll see 3 inches makes a big difference in the way it looks.
