    Drop Keys

    hey guys got a quick question. Lookin to lower my truck a little so ive been looking at the "purple keys" or just plain old lowering keys. Will these lower my truck down 2 more inches then the stock torsion keys i have in my z71 now or will they both lower to the same?

    i put the belltech lowering keys on my z71 and u can adjust them from 1 to 3inches, they r great, just dont try it without the torsion key tool as they r very dangerous and under aloota tension even with the suspinsion jack up to un preload they r still very dangerous

    You can use the Belltech (or other brand) drop keys or 2500 keys. They both have the same affect, but the actual drop keys have a better angle on the bolt engagement.
