For the 4x4 models, we have torsion bars (on the ifs trucks). You can follow the bar from the front to about midway down the truck. There will be two bars, one on each side. If you lay under the truck and look up at where the bar connects in the middle (ish) of the truck you'll see a big hex bolt with the head facing directly towards the ground. If you turn that in like you're tightening it, the torsion bar will rotate and wedge your truck up a little. Measure from a fixed point on your fender to a fixed point on your wheel. Turn the bars evenly.

The torsion key is where the bar "plugs in" up front. The stock key is shaped a specific way. Kind of like an accelerator pump cam on an old Holley carb. If there are after market torsion keys, you can get a key that starts off stock with a higher lift. As you turn up the bars you are putting the pieces in a different position. It rides a little rougher and doesn't have the same travel distance. Getting an aftermarket torsion key will keep things in a better position. Chevy has different torsion keys avail, not sure if Dodge does.
