Dumb question....why doesn't anyone just level the front with keys and not use the spacers in the rear? Level stance and more downward travel with suspension instead of the 3 inch keys so ride quality is still decent. I would think just doing that and the shock extension brackets with new shocks would be a pretty dope setup imo. I'm runnin 32" tires and I only rub inner fender when I have the steering cranked all the way in one direction. So with 33s and a small key lift one should be good to go. But I have yet to.come across someone who has tried this before.

That is what I did in the middle pics above. Before I went back lowered. It rode good like stock, but the drop kit rides even better, handles, and performs better.

I liked it better with the 1.5'' spacer in the rear. Im gonna do a 1.5 rear and 2-3'' keys in the front of my denali. What size tires you running?

thanks for your opinion, but I like it lowered more. when you see the better pics, you may understand. Just got to wash it up, and get some more pics.

pretty easy with the right tool.
very difficult and dangerous with the wrong tool.

Had several shops looked, and could not get it, untill I had to walk them through the procedure on the removal. They even had to order the 7ton puller, removed 1 of the arms, and grip the other 2 on the crossmember to get the key compressed. took them about 3-4 hrs.

thats cool man. I think that will be the route I go with just leveling the front and leaving the rear alone. I think just a level and tires will really bring these trucks into their own.
