Default TORSION BAR KEY Lift Question..

I have 35s on my 04 1500 Hemi with very lil Rub I didnt
Crank my TORSION BAR KEYS Yet. I jus want to know
if AfterMarket Keys really Give an Extra 2.5" more then
what my "Cranked" Factory Keys will.. I know(Think) my
my Factory Keys will give me any Extra 1.5" to 2" Lift..
Am I wrong??? Will AfterMarket Keys Add 2" on top of
what My Factory Torsion Bar Keys give me??? On Not???

These Are the Key Sets Im Lookin At..

When you install the keys you are basically gonna lose the free crank, as you are gonna take the bolts out and use them to adjust the keys. You don't get both...

if it's a level and lift you want, stay with the cranked stock set and add a 3" body lift...

I have'nt Cranked my Bars Yet.. I jus wanted to know if Aftermarket Keys
will lift the truck Higher then my Factory Keys CAN.. 3" Body Lift is $450..

For Once I wish My 1500 was a 2500.. But AnyWay...

Thanx,
Rob
