From what I've heard 3" is a bit too much for the torsion key kits, I wouldn't get one anyway I'd just turn the adjustor bolt and get it leveled for free and a lot less wear on the truck

Theres no need to buy replacement torsion keys on your truck. you will be better off like previously said if you just crank the stock ones.

They are the absolute worst product ever made. They allow you to put way, way too much preload on your torsion bars which destroyes your ride quality and creates extreme wear and tear on your CV and ball joints. Crank up your torsion bars with the OEM keys and save your money. If you want a little more lift, add a 3 inch body lift like I did.

Body Lifts are a great alternative to a suspension lift IMO... Most people who run them (myself included) really like them, and they look really good on our 97s-03s when done correctly...
