Default Stock torsion keys or aftermarket?

97 k1500
I Would like to get the front of the truck level with the rear, I don't like the look of the rake. I don't mind spending a little money if shocks and extras are necessary, I was thinking of cranking a little on the stock torsion keys probably 1 1/2 inches?
Is it better to use the stock ones or get aftermarkets? Is there a difference? I don't want to mess up the geometry of my suspension to where it causes issues down the road.
If that's the wrong way to do it, any suggestions on the proper way?

Thanks guys 👍👍😁

I don’t know if that is or is not the right way to do it, all I know is people do it all the time, and I have heard as you crank it up, the ride gets stiffer and stiffer.
