well the keys do the same exact thing as turnin up the stock keys all they do in put more tension on the torsion bars so j-man is right they are a wast of money and time

crankin them up i believe stiffens your ride...as where i did..i wanted a lil lower stance on the front end...in turn it made it a little spongey in the front end...could just be my set up but i think thats the way it goes

Cranking your t-bars will do the EXACT same thing as new keys. You are putting more torque on the bar's to achieve the lift. Bad? Maybe, maybe not. If you go for about 1-1.5" of lift, you will be fine. Anything more and you will put your CV shafts and ball-joints at bad angles causing excessive wear. The ride will stiffen slightly as you are adding more pressure on the bars and slightly decreasing your suspension droop. Having said that, I have my t-bars cranked on my Colorado for a total of about 2+" 75,000+ miles and no problems.

So if i crank the bars 1.5 inches should i still put 6 inch blocks in the back because i have the 4 inch blocks already. or should i get 5.5 inch blocks. doesnt superlift make 5.5 inch blocks?
Thanks
