I went with the Hell Bent Steel spacers ( www.hellbentsteel.com ). I did a lot of research and the HBS kit had a lot better welds, besides they were great to deal with and threw in a cool decal. They were cheaper than TGC too. I went with the 2.5" kit and my truck sits perfectly level. I highly recommend them.

To the OP. You have a 4x4 with torsion bars! To save you money and a lot of headache swapping those keys out, Just jack up the front of your truck so the tires are off the ground and tighten your torsion bar adjuster bolts. They are located under your truck about midway of the cab. They are facing vertical. The size is a 19mm socket. I would do about 5 full turns on each side, the lower the truck and drive around the block. Measure from the bottom of your fender to the top of your wheel and compare to the rear. If you want to go higher or lower, repeat the process.
To be safe, I would only crank your bars until the front is about 1" lower than the rear. It seriously takes less than 30 min. After your happy with the way your truck sits, get it aligned.
The leveling keys for the 02-05 1500 4x4 are a scam. They say they don't make the ride any more harsh, but simple physics proves that the only way to level these truck are to apply more pressure to the torsion bars.
FYI: if your looking at a leveling kit that is in a shape of a circle, DO NOT BUY! its not designed for your truck.
