Leveling kit

2000 GMC · February 7, 2005

I'm thinking of finally going up 1 tire size and wanted the front end raised on my Sierra. Has anyone ever used the Hill4Wheeldrive leveling kits? Are all these are are Ford keys that I can get much cheaper? If they are does anyone have the part number for the Ford keys I need?

Thanks

Just get the green Ford keys. You'll save yourself some money to put towards other upgrades/mods.

Looks like you upgraded from that pic a little eh? lol Seriously, how well did the spindles work out? How does your truck do with the 35" tires and the 3.73s? Ive been a little worried that I maybe should have gotten the 4.10s for the possiblity of a lift and bigger tires.

the green and furd keys are two differnt keys,

Use the furd keys on the 1/2 ton's and the green keys on the 3/4 ton's

The Hill4WD ones are an aftermarket brand and will work just fine, but the price seems rather high compared to furd keys.

Rides great on the 35's, spindles work great. I had 4" fabtech spindles on my old silverado and I loved them. I found that deal on ebay for my new truck and I could not resist. the 3.73's move the truck just fine, and I can still out acelerate most of the jap cars. I think I may do a gear swap later on, but it is not on the top of my priority list.

The P/N for the phurd keys is: XL3Z5B328CA they cost (locally) $25 each. The Hills4wheeldrive keys are a clone,with a much higher price tag.

My '05 Sierra K1500 came w/ the "green"keys, so I cranked them up,but I used up just about all of the threads on the bolt. I think I'm going to buy the phurd keys this week and swap them out.
