I just got a performance accessories 3 inch kit for my truck for Christmas and it does not have keys just blocks, bolts, steering adapter, and bumper relocation brackets. I am about halfway thru the Install if you have any more questions just ask.

Probably ended up with a 4-5" kit. I know of a few who have the keys to level the truck, or even lift it a little (stock keys work JUST AS GOOD) and the 3" from the body lift.

Honestly, you dont need that kit. Your stock keys will be more then enough to level your truck (if it isnt already). Just get the body lift alone. Otherwise your spending money on a paper weight

Valid point thanks but would they help raise the truck any and is it a bad idea to adjust your torsion bars just to get height out of them?
