It really does sit pretty high. Leveled fact keys with AAL's. I still have a set of Zone Keys to go in.

I always wonder if its worth the money. But I won't give up on my first "real" truck after 4years. I know i will never forgive myself if i sell it. Motor and charger will be finished in the next year. I put a deposit for the body work next summer. Bed corners or sides, rockers, and bottom door shells. Then, hopefully, 4;10s and a trans buy fall/winter 2015
How does she ride with a crank and AAL, thinking about the same setup for mine but I heard they ride terrible afterwards.

Not really that bad. It's got 160,000 miles on the 100% original suspension so that is the primary reason it isn't the smoothest. E load 10ply tires also don't smooth it out lol. Really it rides decent enough

He has his bolts clear to the frame and had a lot of bouncy on his bars

Here is the lift I got with actual leveling kit but is why I ended up replacing axles twice and got a real lift

When I just had the keys turned up it was a pretty stiff, tough ride....railroad tracks and pot holes were the worst but yeah it's worth getn a little height from turning them up...for me not enough lift to really notice and leveling kit with after market keys a huge mistake and do not recommend it unless u get a custom company to do it and set them for you...almost my entire front suspension is new...I name it all new and upgraded from oem
