Default first new truck/4x4

Hi all and thanks for the help in advance. As the title says Im a first time new truck owner aswell as first time 4x4 owner. I bought an 09 GMC sierra SLE and have done a couple of mods (exhaust, bug deflector, spray in bed liner) and was woundering about leveling/lifting the truck the largest lift I would be considering would be 3" as I dont want to go to bigger tires right now. I have read a bit about the keys for the torsion bars up front and was woundering if they are available for my truck if they would do the job for the front and then I would go with blocks for the back.
Thanks again for any advice

leveling keys wont work on your truck since you dont have torsion bars. You need a spacer which range from .5-2.5"

Unless he has a 2500 series truck. Those are still torsion bar suspensions.
