I did mine with the stock keys. Rode like crap after and clunked quite a bit until I got the bilsteins put in. Now it rides just as good, if not better than stock.

Thanks. Just make sure you get an alignment after. Mine was a little darty after until I got an alignment.

Cranked up 1.5 inches on stock keys. Swapped shocks to Rancho and had it aligned. It is a little stiffer but nothing bad, it drives like a truck.

Hopefully it would, the reasone I asked about the ride is because I cranked the torsions on a chev I had and I pretty near had to wear a kidney belt while drivin cause it felt like the seat was tied to the frame.

Cranked mine on my '05, with the stock keys and shocks. It rode a little rougher, but was still better than a 2500.

LOL. That's what you get for buying a bowtie.  Seriously, though, crank t-bars about two inches, install some Bilstein 5125's, and call it a day.'03 Black SLT QC SWB 4x4 Off-Road -- 35 x 12.50 Dick Cepek FCII's on 17 x 9 Centerline Dorsals -- AirAid Intake System w/ AMSOIL synthetic filter -- Comp 260 cam -- Manley springs, retainers, & pushrods -- JBA Cat-4ward mids -- Borla cat-back exhaust --Superchips -- Mark VIII e-fan w/ FK60 -- 8.2mm Taylors-- 180 deg t-stat -- AMSOIL -- Torsion bar lift (re-keyed) -- Bilstein 5125 shocks (BE5-6140-T5 front / BE5-6248-H5 rear) -- Hella Black Magics -- bunch of other stuff Coming soon: Rough Country X-Lift up front, Deaver progressive leaf springs in back, and longer Bilsteins all around.

Hi my name is Noodelz and I am a former Chev owner.........(crowd,"Hi Noodelz") Everyone hits rock bottom sometime LOL Thanks for the advice on the t bars man I will do just that.
