Here's mine for reference:



The ride quality is pretty shitty, JSYK, up front at least. I've got helper bags on the rear so it's a little better back there.

Truck looks great.

I have an 05 ECSB Z71, I cant speak from experience yet (Still waiting on the DJM Arms) but from the info I've read Id Id assume your ride is shitty due to maxing out the keys (Just a guess) Ive got leveling keys on mine now and the ride is rough but I like it like that. it hops when turning tho which doesnt make for the best handling..


b4vwannabe did you swap out your shocks?

Ya you missed the drop spindle part. Im assuming he has 3'' drop spindles to get that much with keys but a common amount is a 2'' drop spindles for us 4X4 guys

I'm not sure you'll be able to get another 2" out of the purple keys, since you've already de-cranked the stock ones. Only one way to find out though, just find someone with an HD that put leveling keys in, and buy their stock keys for cheap.

i heard the purple keys give u about 3" lower then ur stock ones set at stock height.. mine went down like an inch so on purples i say 2"more.. alot of people use them to drop them more so isay we can get another 2" but ur rt only way is to try it.. ill let everyone know i already have them waiting to install them..

He told me he threw it all at the truck. Control arms, spindles, and Keys. I am sure he will chime in...
