Help with leveling kit
the front of my truck currently sits at about 23 1/4 inches and I want to get the full 24 1/4 so I know I need new keys because the drivers side bolt doesn't have many threads left, maybe about 1/8 inch or so. what leveling kit do I need? ive been seeing 2.5 inch and 3 inch and not sure which one to go with or which brand is the best. After, I also want to get new shocks and replace my ranchos as I hear these make the ride rougher so do the billsteins everyone says to use really make a whole lot of difference or should I stick with the shocks that sometimes come included in the kit? thank you for your input

How much lift you'll get from the clocked keys depends on how much you turn them up. You'll get anywhere from 1 to 3 inches by adjusting the key bolt. Although, the more you turn'em, the more stress you'll put on your ball joints.

Well my truck only has 33,xxx miles on it so id hate to destroy the front end parts with aftermarket keys so based on the pic would it be bad to turn that bolt all the way in or i should i leave that 1/8 inch or so of threads. I would like to get to 24 inches if possible just to be on the safe side but i dont think turning that bolt in that much would get me there will it?
