Get a pix to show the whole truck from the side now. How close to level is it?

With the new keys the front sits 3/4 of an inch higher. That is with the adjuster bolt almost all the way backed out.

Opps what I mean is now the front sits 3/4 " higher than the rear. Now I know the suspension needs to settle.

I think the front of mine only settled about 1/4" in the year since my lift and keys were done. Might have to find a spacer for the rear coils to level it back up if it doesn't settle to your liking.  Looks good though.  :thumbup:

What size rear coil spacers do you think I should buy?

Me personally, I wouldn't go more than an inch. You'll still have a slight rake to it once the torsion bars settle. Project Blackout has a thread on here about using hockey pucks as spacers. I'm not sure if he ever did anything with that or not.

Ok, Now I traded my old wheels and tires for a set of 305/50/20 wheels and tires. So now the level lift I just put on looks funny. So I guess I will take it off and return to stock .
