I love this explanation with the reindexed keys... So here is the million dollar question:

What exactly do you think the reindexed keys do?


Tick tock, tick tock, they crank up the torsion bars.


They do the same exact thing that you do when you crank up the torsions, except without cranking on the adjustment bolts because the adjustment is built into the keys themselves. Either way, the lift you're seeing is a result of running up the torsion bars...

I ran my stock keys up to clear 285's on a 16x10" wheel and got tired of the rubbing in the corners, so I put reindexed keys in (GM makes about 5 or so different keys) and ran it like that for another year or so. Then the truck started driving like a school bus. Ended up with a 6" lift and 35's on 20's and it rides better than it ever did stock.

Oh, and this is on a 2500HD with a Dmax. Same basic principles though.

Also, I paid $45 for the keys direct from the dealer. Same stuff the aftermarket places sell for $150 or more and call a leveling kit.

Here is some reading and part numbers for you:

Do a search and spend some time on some of the Chevy forums. Half the places I ended up on with this google search showed me $50 worth of GM keys that they wanted $250+ for... I must be in the wrong business. Then again, I do like to sleep at night.
