uh... no, they both do the same thing... add tension to the t-bars to create lift

i dont think you can get it up more than 3"... keys might help get it a little higher tho... but if you crank them that far your cv shafts are gunna be at an extreme angle, and it will ride like a lead pipe..

My truck is cranked instead of leveled... I raised mine about 1-1/2 - 2" and still have adjustment left... Just when you do it... Your bolts probably won't be even... Mine aren't anywhere near even but the truck sits level.. And get er' aligned
