Thanks.

To level your truck you just need to get a set of shackes for the rear and that will take it down 2". I like mine, it didn't affect the ride or anything. And the shackels only take about 30 mins to install.

I installed the "green" keys on my 2500HD which are actually the factory keys that come on the 1500 series trucks like yours. They are reindexed and allow the lift you want (2") with a smoother ride than just cranking your stock torsion bar adjusters. I have had them in a year and I am very pleased with them. For $50 and 30 min of work they are one of the easiest mods so far.

For your truck you would use a Ford torsion bar key that comes from a 2000 F-150. The part number for these is XL3Z5B328CA from your local dealership. Cost is about $18-$20 ea. Good luck!
