I have the rough country keys, but still had to crank the bolts almost all the way in. I wish I knew then what I know now.I would have saved my 100.00! Trust me when I tell you that new keys or cranking factory keys, are the same. As far as wear and tear on front end, same either way. Crank your t-bars and get it where you want it then get an alignment. If you need some pointers on how to do this PM me I can walk you through it

i am pretty sure it is an 11 mm socket and it is easier if you jack the front end off the ground. take measurements first, then crank each side equally set it down remeasure and repeat til you get the height you want. then drive it a while and re measure, sometimes it will settle, if it does you may need to crank some more. once you get it where you want and it stays, then get an alignment! and enjoy the level life!

make sure your suspension is fully depressed when you jack up the front
