Okay I will try that first. Soo is having the stock keys cranked all the way better for the front end then even using the leveling keys?

Is having the stock keys all the way up the same amount of stress as the leveling keys all the way up? Or are the leveling keys worse? Reason I ask is cause I was thinking about putting a slightly bigger block in the rear.

Stock keys cranked up are easier on the front end, though not great for it either. Levelin keys are re-indexed for more lift but is way worse on the front end. I'd recommend on levelin keys if your t-bars are worn out, or you can't get it level with the rear as of now

Okay, that's what I was thinking but wanted some one else's opinion. I know you then recommended the 1.25" body lift also? Is there any reason you don't recommend a bigger body lift and with that 1.25" you don't have to extend anything meaning wires connections etc. Do you? Doesn't effect steering any?

I recommended a 1.5" because it doesn't show near as much frame and looks cleaner IMO...and no you don't have to extend any wires or lines. Steering isn't affected, you don't even need a steerin extension

Okay sounds good. Is a 1.5" body lift the smallest they make for these trucks? Most places carry only 2 or 3" its looking like.

Zoneoffroad.com...they make the 1.5" body. 200 will get you the entire kit, it's 150 plus 50 for the rear bumper brackets

Did you get the rear bumper bracket? Reason I ask is since its only 1.5" I was just wondering if it even looked that bad without the rear bumper brackets?

Yeah I ordered it, I seen a pic of it not on there and it looked funny IMO. The bumper just doesn't line up with the back of the fender and looks goofy. It's an extra 50 bucks to make it a complete kit so I'd get it if I were you
