Wow, thanks for coping and pasting that very very poorly written add from their website. You can pay a bunch of money for their ubber keys or just get stock 1/2 ton units from GM for probably a 1/4 of the cost and have all the adjustment you need.

All a leveling "kit" contains is 1500 keys better known as "green" keys because of the color they are painted. Along with a set of shock extensions. This will get another 1" of travel out of the suspension and allow you to adjust ride height up to the maximum travel.

Just keep 3/4" of room between the upper control arm and the droop stop and you will keep a good ride. If you lift too far your ride will suffer.

After everything I've learned on here about leveling kits etc. I did not know that. Hmm. Just out of curiousity, (too late to change anything anyway not spending $ on another lift), Are these keys weaker in any way or make anything more unsafe?
(obviously shouldnt be a big deal considering many many people do this). Probably answered my own question already.

Careful trying to go that high....not every truck will just go that high and as said above you need to maintain travel and not max your suspension out. I posted in your other thread about shocks:)

MAXX keys are junk! I had a set on my old truck that I had a shop install, they did nothing. Once they are set once, you cannot re-index them, I blaster and beat the SH*T out of the index part and they are still sitting in the scrap pile in the corner of my garage. when I got a torsion key tool and started doing my own keys, I junked those keys and bought a set of green keys from GM for half the price of the MAXX Cams.

I just added anti-size to mine before I assembled them...they go in and out just fine. I bought mine for my 1/2 when I had it as it worked for both the 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks. I just took them out this week as I am now going to use a tuff country kit and use my stock keys instead. I thought they worked fine.
