The truck has torsion keys stock. They will level the truck just fine. The aftermarket keys are reindexed allowing for more preload, thus lifting thr truck more. You never want more than 2" of lift via torsion keys. Just crank the stock keys

That truck looks awesome, I've been considering lifting myself..maybe a 3 inch body lift and keeping the same tire diameter for now.
