torsion keys and torsion bars

[itsclay11]

with my truck, i have a 2005 silverado 5.3 Z71...i wanted to make it look mean when i was coming down the street without lifting it and spending big money. So i went and bought some torsion keys which leveled the truck out and then tightened the torsion bars to raise the truck up a little more to give the front end a little more lift... as of right now the front end sits a little over an inch higher than the rear. don't tighten the torsion bars up all the way....good way to beat your truck up and pay big money to get it fixed. i also added some longer shocks i went with pro-comps 3000s 0-3 inch lift, soon to be swapped out for some bilsteins. I also threw on some MT classic locks with MT MTZ's (265/70/17) to give it a wider stance and aggressive look.

just wondering how hi you went on the torsion keys and what kind you had bought. i did the torsion keys with ford keys cranked um all the way and the ride is terrible. I have yet to replace the shocks im hoping this will help some but have been told it wont help much.

i believe they were 1.5 inch lift and don't remember the brand name...then the torsion bars i raised up another 1-2 inches with pro-comp es3000, not happy with the shocks...gonna replace with bilsteins
