I am in the process of collecting parts to level the truck. I have the Cognito UCA's and will be getting the shocks from Nor Cal next month but I would also like to get a set of torsion keys. I have heard that the newer trucks do not need them but they are cheap enough that I want to have them just in case. Is there really a big difference in quality between the keys? I found a company on line that sells them for $48 a pair with a lifetime warrenty. Is there really a differance between the $48 keys and the $90 or $110 keys?

You don't need them so why would you waste the money on them. The cheapest key will work just as good as the marketing BS that these companies are pushing.

The cognito arms do help to increase travel spend ur money and get Bilsteins from Nic

I'd start cranking and see if youre going to need them. They might be cheap, but if you don't need 'em, you could do some other cheap mod instead. Or buy the beer. :)

If you want keys then you can buy the OEM GM Green Keys(Part#15592573) from partszoneonline.com for about $50.00 PR or you can check the "For Sale" threads on this Forum, FSC or GMFS and probably find a set with no problem. All these keys are pretty much the same with the only difference being is how they are indexed.
