Keys and blocks.

Mine was lifted when I bought it, so I won't be much help.
It's 2 or 3", I didn't measure the block. 33" tires on 17 inch rims.

Looks good I am def wanting 3 if not more I think at this point

If you go more than 3 you will need a decent kit for the front. Cv axles can't handle more than 3.

I've had 2 trucks with body lifts and my major beef is the bumpers have to be moved with brackets. They loose their integrity. Also unless you have the skirts you see a 3 inch gap in the wheel wells. And lastly the frame now hangs down 3 inches and is more visible. I'd just spend the extra cash now and do it right.

I got the keys and spacers and now it rides ******. Very stiff in the front but I know I need shocks. If that doesn't work I'm gonna save up and get a good suspension lift so it's done right.

Amen to that of coarse always the deal is money I think I am going to try the keys and spacers with the brackets for the shocks and try it if don't like just do like you and deal til can afford otherwise thanks for the honest opinion on the body lift always helps with personal experience

3" keys, 2" spacers with Z71 springs in the rear - 39 1/2" fender height all four corners. 285/75/16's (33") on 16x8 wheels
I have a Zone body lift I may put on, and it won't be all that noticeable because I'm keeping the running boards. The rear hitch is bolted to the frame, not the bumper, so I won't have any issues with towing with the body lift on.

No, by spacers we mean wheel spacers, bolted to your hubs, then the wheels get bolted to them, making the stance wider.

If you cranked your keys to make it level, new shocks won't do anything to lower the rear end, it's not going to squat unless you put at least 800 lbs in the rear. You can raise the front more to make it higher than the rear, or you can put shorter springs in the rear.

I think in this thread, spacers are the blocks put under the springs to add lift.
