Why on earth would you spend money on a product that allows you to do something you can do for free? Just crank up the torsion bars enough to level your truck and get an alignment.

you can crank them up just don't go too far. I had aftermarket keys and cranked and was told by 4x4 shops that i had the biggest 6+3 they had ever seen but i was going through inner cv joints like it was my job. you can crank to level but don't go overboard.

X3 on NOT using the keys! I was going to do that but Wandell here "talked" me out of it-thanks Wandell!!I'm not even going to mess w/ my torsion bars as I'm saving for a lift kit. you could do a BL for about $200.

Aftermarket torsion keys allow you to crank too much preload into the stock bars. Just crank the stock ones to level and get an alignment. The ride will firm up some but not too bad.
