Well since I have a 2003 F150 super crew, and a 2005 suburban. I figure I want to add a couple of inches of lift to each. SOOOOOO after all the reading around here, I know that the torsion keys from the f150 gives the burb 2" plus lift.....so I said to myself....self, lets add the rough country lift to the f150, and then take the keys and some H2 springs to the suburban! 2 lifts for one price. I think IM going to use shackles in the rear of the f150 instead of the blocks provided by RC. Not sure yet. But the burb has brand new monotubes on her so All i will do is add shock extender brackets on it...

The burb goes in next week to get its brakes back, and my F150 needs a rear end fluid change. I will size everything up then!

The screw will be going not right away tho. its working great with a new alternator even better now that its' getting full power. I was talking to my mechanic and he figures where the truck was sitting for so long before I bought it, it failed. Its still good.

Rayra, I will have a set for sale too soon!

Kojak, before you go to the trouble of swapping over the F150 keys, see how much you can get from cranking the bolts on the keys that are already there. On 2500's, I can usually get just about 2" out of the factory screws... Saves a lot of work swapping keys, with exactly the same result.

Also, if your burb is a 2500, you can buy extended lower shock brackets on fleabay for pretty cheap, or just use 3/8" or so of washers to space up the factory brackets.
I also added 2 washers to the top of the shock to extend them down a bit. A little here, a little there!!
Have fun!!

my burb is the 1500 that already has a crank, the f150 keys will give more lift than the crank by itself. Mine sits pretty level right now. With the keys I will have to add 1.5" of lift in the rear to level.
