I did leveling keys on my Chevy 3500. I had to do aftermarket upper arms because the factory arm topped out and gave me a really bad rebound… like scary bad!
Done hundreds of torsion key lifts. They work great but the truck will ride stiffer and yes you’ll be replacing factory parts in the future. GM (assuming your truck is GM) spent tens of millions of dollars engineering the suspension on that truck and we keep putting cheap lift kits on them expecting the truck to last as long as stock. It’s the price you’ll pay to have a good looking truck
How high did you turn your keys? I'm seeing the procomp keys 2.5 that should be plenty to level my 2500 right
On a 1500, they seem to be ok. The torsion bars are softer. On a 2500 or 3500, they don't like being preloaded that much.

wasn't really looking for the hood look so much as just wanted to level my truck and not spend thousands of dollars to do it

Should have bought a dodge or Ford then. That's my honest answer. I tell everyone all the time. I bought the world's most expensive leveling kit. Straight axel guys it's easy.
Those frames sit much higher than the predecessors. Those could be done without too much stress. These newer frames, it just takes too much to level and it puts too much stress on everything. Just my opinion.
We went new truck shopping last week 103k for dodge 81k for a 21 f250 with 15k miles 85 k for a GMC and 70k for the chevy I think I will keep my 17
I don't blame you. But I have found, leveling GM and not spending money, cannot be in the same sentence.
Ok thank you but everyone says the cognito kit is the best but you have to replace ball joints every 10k miles sounds a little ridiculous
It's not perfect. Like I said, if I could do it again. I would go coil conversion. It's actually cheaper than the cognito if you add all the bells and whistles like i did. I mean, the upgraded sway bar, uniball Arms, upgraded shocks, etc...but bds didn't have it out yet.
My dad did it on a 2500 to try and level out the truck, hated it and took it off. Said it road horrible.
This would be another way about. 100%. I bet your truck looks fantastic too.
Yea about an inch max, right offset wheels etc so the basically 35’s fit with no rubbage.
Have I seen this at jack Smith?
Do you have ball joint problems
Ha! I guess auto spell changed Good to hood
The ford is easy to get to that price depending on model. My 17’ f-350 platinum was 80k.81k for a 2021 F250???
Hmm how much would you pay for a 2022 with 1600 miles
Oh I know. Was really considering building my truck as a Lariat. Would have been right at 60k
