Default suspension question. need help!

i am the proud owner of a 2002 silverado 2500 4x4. i'm looking in to getting a mild lift. probably just 2 inches. with some 32 inch tires. but i'm having problems finding a lift for my application. most of the lifts are for HD models. my question is are the lifts interchangeable between hd and non hd models. specifically the torsion keys? any feedback or help on where to look would be appreciated

the torsion keys should be similar between the two. check out rough country leveling kits. and with those you can fit 33s on. im going with 285 tires which are equal to a 33 inch tire. if you go with rough country i'd order new shocks just so that you can get close to the same ride as you had before otherwise if you just crank the t-bars. your ride will be stiffer.

You cn crank the T-bars, but the ride will be rougher. Trust me. i didn't notice it at first.
