OUMike,

The new model Silverados come from the factory with a droopy sag in the front end. I suppose to compensate for load leveling (keeps the truck level when loaded). Most folks don't really like that look and looked for a way to raise the front of the truck to level it with the back. You can crank up the stock torsion bar keys, but the stock keys and bolts usually don't have enough adjustment in them to really get the truck level. Come to find out, a set of torsion bar keys from a 2000 Ford F150 will fit on the new model Silverados. These "Ford keys" allow for an extra 2.5-3 inches of lift over the stock Chevy keys. The only thing is that it makes the truck ride a tad bit firmer. That's ok with me as I have always thought my truck was a bit soft in the front. I swapped my keys about two weeks ago and really enjoy the look and I am quite used to the ride again.

If you search this site for the Ford keys, you will find all the info you need.
