You can also use (*GASP*) Ford torsion keys. They're shaped a little different giving more lift (Ford on bottom, Chevy on top):

I think im gonna order a set ofadjustabletorsion keys and some blocks for the back. I just want to lift it a bit nothing dramatic just enough to get some 265's and make it look like a truck. Smoke20 I find that the bfg M/T wear out fairly fast, but thats just my opinion. My buddys got them on his 06 duramax and they chew great.

...if i don't have them on a 2wd then fell free to take what ever cheap shots you feel necessary.


Thanks guys
