i maxed mine -2 fullt urns and added 1 leaf to the back and fender height is about 40", if I was going to do it again, I'd replace the 2" block with a 5" and leave the front the same...1 leaf lifted it 2-2.5 inchs.....

keys just wind the front end up...no different the spinning it up with the stock bolts...they just allow more tension to be put on the t bars...allowing a higher ride height to be achieved.

No probs here, but when 4x4ing there is no suspension articulation in the front, I can 2 wheel that thing and it won't close the front.....

Yea, they tighten up the pre-load w/keys. A bump in the road can feel like the damn trucks coming undone and you'll never hold an alignment. That's what sucks. Better off just going with a suspension lift IMO.
