You could do that or get a "true suspension" lift to where it will not put extra stress on the front end components.

Any Key lift turns the torsion bars up. All the Key that they are selling does is allow you to turn the torsion bars up until you acquire 3 inches of lift. Basically when you get aftermarket keys your truck isnt going to ride all that great

anyone suggesting keys has no idea of the harsh effects on front end suspension components. Tell me in 30K miles and a couple boosted launches at the track how that "leveling kit" is working for you.


If this guy wants a suspension lift. A TRUE lift kit, let him do it...

and I don't own 2 "just a trucks" and neither do 99% of members here. This is our bread and butter, and I happen to take an awful lot of pride in my trucks, as well as making the right choices for clients trucks...
