CST Torsion Lift Keys # CSS-C13-2. Fits 2001-2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD / 3500 and GMC Sierra 2500HD / 3500 . A question that many 4wd owners often ask is wont these keys ruin my 4wd driveline? - The simple answer is no. All of the suspension lift kits made by RCD, Rancho, and some new Fabtech kits use a replacement lift steering knuckle (aka spindle) that increases the operating angles of the front CVs the same amount as a torsion key lift. These suspension lift kits are well respected and have proven to be extremely reliable and are popular with customers. Vehicles with over 100,000 miles have reported no failures due to the slight increase in CV joint operating angle. PLC believes that the small increase in driveline angle is not enough to cause concern among 4wd owners, however a slight increase in CV boot wear is possible and should be watched.
For the 2wd owners this is an EXCELLENT upgrade that will help to level out a stock truck or SUV and can also be used to provide an additional 1-2 inches of lift to an existing lift kit. These keys work very well to help level the 3/4 ton GM trucks and SUVs that arrive from the factory with a noticeable front to rear rake. New front shocks are not mandatory as CST includes a shock extension bracket designed to allow you to keep the factory front shocks. PerformanceLifts.com suggests the installation of a slightly longer and more performance oriented shock absorber if you plan on leveling the vehicle and installing larger tires. For this reason, PerformanceLifts.com offers CST Performance Suspension CSR series replacement shocks for use with these torsion lift keys. For customers that are also raising the rear of their truck or SUV we offer longer than stock replacement rear shocks too.
Please Note: The vehicle must be re-aligned after installing these torsion lift keys - Failure to do so may lead to premature tire wear and poor handling. The CSS-C13-2 includes 1 Pair of CST Torsion Lift Keys and 1 Pair of Shock Extensions. This is enough to lift the front of one vehicle. These keys should not be added to existing 4x4 suspension lifts made by RANCHO - RCD or FABTECH! These keys will not fit ANY 1500 series standard duty GM trucks or SUVs! If you are looking for an inexpensive way to lift the rear of your truck PerformanceLifts offers Rear Block and U-Bolt Kits available separately below.
