Default 2005 lift

What can i do to level my truck out and have it be able to fit 35's?
The only thing i can online are torsion keys, What are torsion keys and how do they work. Why is there no regular leveling kit with spacers for the shocks?

There is no such animal as a "spacer for the shocks". There are spacers for the coils and the reason you can't use them is simple - YOU DON'T HAVE COILS!!!

Torsion keys are what hold the front of the torsion bar in place. Depending on the angle these keys sit when in place, the ride height of the front of the truck can be adjusted, usually up or down about 2-2 1/2". Be advised, however, that the more you raise the angle of the torsion bar, the tighter is becomes, kinda like winding a spring. So you get a stiffer, harsher ride with the keys advanced for a higher ride...

wtf?! look at his headlights in the pic. I'm not so sure he doesn't have coils.

Are you sure you have a 2005?

yeah, I noticed it too. A long time ago as a matter of fact. He posted some months ago and we questioned in the thread that the pic appeared to be that of an '06 or '07, which would have coils. Either the pic ain't of his truck, or he ain't the sharpest tool in the shed...
