Default ORU lift kit?

I came across ORU's 2" kit in an old mag that I found. It is for 99&up chevy/gmc. Will this kit make the truck ride worse, like the t-bars are cranked up, or will it be the same? It says that it comes with re-indexed keys or some thing like that. New shocks and a bigger block for the rear. Any one have this kit or know anything about it? http://www.offroadunlimited.com/Prod...&idproduct=316

ORU is the shop that does all my work for lifted trucks. Their torsion key lift will get you 2" with only a slightly stiffer ride. The indexed keys are used to help lift the suspension without having to over-crank the t-bars. They include the longer Bilsteins to keep the shocks from topping out and are highly recommended. Usually it's only the 3/4 ton trucks that use this kit.

Its about the same as buying Ford keys, or if you have an HD, green keys and longer shocks. It'd be cheaper and accomplish the same thing just to get new keys with longer shocks. Also, whenever you crank the torsion bars its gonna ride a little stiffer. Actually feels a little better IMO but I like a firm ride.
