All levelin kits are the same, from what I've read you can get some stock 1500 torsion keys and they'll lift your truck for a lot cheaper than a levelin kit will. That bein said, crank your stock keys first and see if they level your truck. Only time a levelin kit is needed is if your stock keys won't level the truck with the stock rear

keys are easy to install, but they're also very dangerous if you're not very skilled at it. I rented a 7 ton 2 arm puller from oriellys and that did the job easily
