found New keys!! MAXX Cam 2 Leveling Kits

[Jerky Arm Ape]

Some really good information here that clears up the misconception about indexed keys and lift keys.

Also read elsewhere that there really is no true 4 inch kit. They are all technically 6. Is this correct?

The Rancho 4 is just advertised as such. Its 4 from crank. 6 from stock.

I was actually under the impression that there is no true 6" lift kit, just a 4" with add-a-leafs and some cranking to raise it to 6".

To me, for a lift to be true to the advertised inch amount, it needs to lift te vehicle that amount while retaining the stock torsion preload and control arm geometry.

Either way I have never had a 4" or 6" lift so I can't give facts, just opinion.
And my opinion is only worth what you paid for it

Great example: Rough country sells both a 4" & 6" lift. The difference basically is an AAL, hence the minimal cost difference. The differential drop brackets (which is what allows the front suspension to basically retain geometry similar to stock) drop approximately 5.125" (5 1/8"). Then you can crank up a little for 6+" or de-crank for about 4". it is minimal crank to hit 6". Lots of guys are running the Rough Country and a body lift and 37" tires.

Stupid question

Aal?

AAL = Add-a-leaf kit.

Just one leaf to add to your leaf spring, and a new longer center bolt I believe.

I make my own center bolts out of 3/8" shoulder bolts. Grade 8. Had much more luck that way.
