Only way to level our trucks is either crank the factory torsion bars up or get aftermarket keys which is pretty much useless because it allows you to crank them 1" or so more and it can cause problems. Just crank the factory keys up and level it and you'll be okay. It's the only way to level our trucks out.

Alingment wise, i think your good, but tire wear it does affect, now i'm sure someone on here someone will say hell no it doesn't, but what the torssion keys do is basically push the tire out at an angle as you lift the truck, not much of an angle, but an angle none the less. And you can tell if you run a set of tires the whole time with torsion keys cranked. However if you buy the bigger, aftermarket ones, what that does is sit the truck higher, with the torsion keys uncranked. Therefore essentially fixing the tread wear issue

A free crank to the T bars and a good alignment and you will be good to go....But I have cranked the T bars and didn't get a alignment till 6 months later and didn't really notice that much uneven ware. But it was on a old set of tires so that may be why I didn't notice it...
