You should have a stock 2" block and you also do not put spindles in the rear. An AAL will suit you fine.

i wouldnt go with torsion keys. they will eat up your suspension. plus you can get a body lift for less from summit. or a spindle lift for a little more

dont do it!!! that kit has an AAL in there btw but theres alot of bad things those torsion keys do just read up you better off cranking your torsion bars and getting the Pro comp AAL or chevy drop shackles from summit

Start saving for a super lift or body lift.

Get a BL or a Superlift, Torsion keys are a waste of money and a pile of garbage. A body lift is $150ish and a Superlift is well...over a grand if I'm not mistaken.

you guys say that the keys are garbage. what about the prekey mod, that doesn't cause damage.

of course, i just answered my own question. his is a 03 mine is an 08. so he's already got that extra lift i don't.
