Wandell knows more about why torsion keys are bad...You don't need them because the truck goes as high as it needs to with the factory components on the front by just cranking the torsion bars all the way.

Here's the exact pair I ordered: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/I...21825610617372
It says 1.5-2" but I measured about 2.5" of lift.
