I think you meant to ask about stock keys, perhaps? I've never seen anything in the way of aftermarket torsion bars for these trucks.

(Or even new stock torsion bars at this point.)

There. Fixed it for you.

Thanks, and yes I did mean torsion keys not bars lol.

Just remember that you dont want to exceed 24.25" from hub to fender. If you can get there with stock keys I would just leave them be.

OhioLariat

Clarified.

I'm at 24" all the way 'round on mine, and added a 1" block in the back to get there.

Very good point. I sometimes forget how easily things can be misinterpreted through text. I think I had my black truck at 23.5" and my red truck just had a 3" body lift so I didnt have to touch them.

Thanks guys, I'll be installing an add a leaf kit in the rear that's supposed to raise it around 1.5-2". I'll then adjust the torsion keys accordingly. I want the truck to have a slight forward rake just for towing and hauling purposes. Do you think longer aftermarket shocks would make much of a difference in helping with the stiffer ride?

OhioLariat

Ride stiffness has nothing to do with shock length needed. It is ride-height variance. Suggest you contact the manufacturer or re iew their web site for recommendations.

I was just thinking that because my stock shocks will be slightly over-extended. but ok, thanks

OhioLariat

If replacing the shocks, yes, you'll want to get longer ones for the front. If not, you can run the stock length, but if you drive the truck hard off road, you will more easily hit the max extension limit. Rear shocks can usually take 2"ride height increase.

Okay, thanks.
