Default Leveling Kits

Hello, I want to level my truck. I want to know if you bought the Torsion Keys or did you simply "turn up" the existing Torsion Keys? I'm only looking at raising it 2".
My truck is:
  • Chevy
  • 2011-Silverado 2500HD
  • 4X4
  • LT
I would like to see how anyone may be doing this. Thanks and have a blessed day.

I'm no expert nor do I have any experience with this but I've heard that just cranking the stock torsion keys will cause a rough ride.

Crankin any keys will ride rough. New levelin keys won't make it ride any smoother. They come with a different inde on the keys, so with no turns on the keys with levelin keys, it'll be the same as crankin the stock keys all the way up. Crank the stock ones and you should get 2" out of em. Get an alignment afterwards

Try to check out Cognito and Truxx. I know they have the right leveling kits for your rig.

I have a 2012 and it doesn't have torsion bars. I'm thinking that goes back to 2010 but I could be wrong. I would look. If you don't have them you will have to buy a leveling kit. Or build one, its essentially a u shaped block that goes under the shock. I seen someone one an off road forum who had built there own but it look like a lot of work and would probably be easier to buy a kit. Found mine, a rough country, on amazon for I think $60.

I guess I shouldn't say anything with out checking first. I was wrong it looks like your truck will have torsion keys. I didn't think about it at first but my truck is a 1500. I'm sorry for the miss information.
