I would check out the $800 deal. Definatly lose the keys and block and buy something made for your truck. Choose something namebrand to. I don't trust off-the-wall stuff.

lol.

having ford torsion keys are fine with a chevy setup, if you crank em all the way your angles do get extreme. I had mine all the way up for about 15k miles and had not a single problem.

I wouldn't really do it again to another truck since it really ***** up your alignment. keep the keys, maybe crank em down a little to lower the front just a hair. keeping them is perfectly fine though.

Is a body lift out of the question? You could put the stock keys back in and still run 285's pretty easy with just a 3" body lift.
