i was going to buy this one aswell but if you break it down its cheaper to buy them seperate. or just crank your t-bars to level it . thats free but you will need to re-align. i fit 33' no prob and could stuff 35' if i wanted

as long as your truck is and 2005 and under thats fine. but if you have a 2006+ you will need a different setup.

Well, if you want to level it this is not the option you want. The ebay auction you showed will lift the front about 2.5'' leveling it. But then putting 2 inch blocks will lift the rear another 2'' getting it just about to stock stance. If you want just an all around 2'' suspension lift then this is it. But for a leveling kit just crank the bars.

I have heard that if you crank the bars in the front then it really messes with your ride and other things in the front end. is this true?

I had an 03 QC and had the t-bar cranked to raise about 1 3/4 inches. This did not affect the ride quality for me at all.

I have a Totaly Performance Inc. leveling kit. Just the keys, not the spacers shown in the ebay add. I only wanted 2 inches, got that with plenty of threads to cank it higher. I bought mine from the Total Performance Inc. website, ended up being about 5 bucks less from there than ebay. THe keys themselves are exact replicas of the stock, but with better holes where the bolt and torsion unloading tool go. Good product.

i cranked my bars and no problems with ride. if you want to save money just crank them equal count the turns and try it out if you dont like the ride then crank them back down and then buy new. just a thaught. why spend money if you dont have to . in this case you really dont have to. crank your t-bars and the money you would have used on aftermarket keys put that toward a new cia.
