How can you tell if your truck has stock Torsion keys or aftermarket? Mine sits pretty high and level already. Looks much higher than most. I have 265 BFG AT's. May just have the bars twisted before I bought it.

Post up a pic, we can probably tell from the look of it. "We are what you would call, Experts!" ( Stole that from the intro to Mythbusters )

if its level then theres a possibility its not cranked. mine was level and not cranked. look underneath and see if theres any bolt threads on the bolt keys. if there are its not cranked. i got 2" out of mine and im going for a 2" spacer. want to try and fit 35s. idc if they rub in the front. just curious about the rear. whats the biggest i can get out of the rear with just a 2" spacer?

I fit 285-75-16 (33-11.5-16) with no lift, and only trimmed a tiny corner of the lower valence on each side. That, and taking off the running boards.
Wouldn't mind doing 2" rear spacers and 1.5" torsion at some point, for a lil more clearance, and my rig is always full of tools, and she gets a saggy butt.....

yeah I think the 285/70-17 is the biggest I can run. I want to fit at least a 33 under it maybe bigger if I can. and I wouldnt want to have to trim anything. If I cant do that then there is no point in spending the money

My truck is BONE stock and I'm running 295/70/17's on it, just had to do alil trimming in the front..

Just picked up ready lift keys 4 150 bucks brand new on craigslist. How come they warned not to install any body lift or rear spacer Wanna put 3 in spaces in then 3 inch body lift to make room for 35's. WHAT'S THE POINT IN STOPPING AT 33!

The keys are frowned on by alot of enthusiasts. Id recommend doing some research before installing them.

Are you planning on turning the front up to 3"?
