FAQ's:
-Do I need any special tools to install this product?
Yes, In order to replace the torsion keys, the torsion bar tension must be relieved with a special torsion bar unloading tool. These tools are easily rented from an automotive specialist store and are also available for purchase from our other auctions. There are several sources that suggest a large C-clamp may accomplish this task as well; however C-clamps pose a risk of slipping off of the crossmember and should not be used.
-How do I adjust the front ride height of my truck, as stated in your ad?
Your torsion keys sit on threaded bolts which allow you to customize your truck to the perfect ride height. Our torsion keys offer approximately 2” of lift after installation. One full turn of the threaded bolt will raise or lower your ride height 1/8”, ultimately affording a range of 1” to 3” of lift.
-What kit should I buy to level my truck?
The best way to accurately level your truck is to measure the distance from the ground to the top of your front and rear wheel wells. Subtract those two numbers and the difference will be the amount of lift you will need to level your truck.
-Do I need an alignment after installing this kit?
Whenever the suspension of a vehicle is altered, it is always recommended to perform an alignment to ensure proper handling and to prevent premature tire wear.
simple and really helpful. I like the fact that you went straight to business and showed all the steps
Any time you install those lift key you must realign your front suspension. Torsion bars do effect your camber angles in your front suspension, usually they create too much positive camber. Also it will change your ride usually a stiffer ride.
Straight to it.. and good vid quality.
every video i see the torsion bars slide right off how about a video if some rust welded ones mines were a bitch but i managed to get em off cutt it with a wiz wheel ( cutoff wheel)
1/2 a can of WD-40 and 4 hours beating the crap out of it with a 3 pound hammer... i finally got around to staring the passenger side haha.
got em off too made a cut on them with a 3" cutoff wheel it relives the pressure. then lots of wd40 pb-blaster penetrating lube & theyll beat off easier also a air hammer works great
I have an Dodge Dakota I want to do a suspension lift, I'm stil confused on how the torsion keys works

I have 2006 Chevy Avalanche that I want to lift just like you did on this video.. what else do I need besides the leveling kit you put on. honestly I have no idea and can you give the Web link for me to order thanks
+Juan Hernandez
heya Juan, I would also suggest getting your front end aligned after the installation, as messing with your suspension will put you a little tow in. Check us out at supremesuspensions.com/ or give us a call, and we can hook you up with a discount.
Can I install this in a gmc sierra 2006 4wd?
Did you have any issues with the upper control arm hitting the stop?
That is a fairly common issue when installing the lift keys, trimming it down or grinding it off completely will give you the clearance needed !!
get the cognito upper control arms
Found your video looking for an idea to level a 2013 chevy silvarado 1500 been looking at 1”lower strut spacer just want to level it that seems like the easy choice what’s your opinion

after installing the level kit how much higher can i turn the bolts?
+Luis Vargas
Heya Luis! After installing the kit you can adjust the torsion keys from 1" all the way up to 3" and anywhere in between. This allows for a custom lift. Let us know how your project turns out!
I have a 2000 Chevy s10 I want to lift, I don't want to do the stupid huge lift big tires s10 kids do I just want it to sit a little higher and increase my towing capacity and get some bigger wheels (I have the stock rims) what size would you recommend for a good clean looking lift without looking like a jackass haha

I bought this kit with the 2 inch blocks for my 13 sierra 2500 and it will not level me out as described. My front is still 1 1/4 inch lower than the rear. I've emailed and only got one reply back saying that they are the right keys which obviously they are not
First off, thanks for reaching out and our apologies for the confusion here. Fortunately, this isn't a very difficult situation to resolve.
In the world of pickup trucks, ride heights can vary due to optional equipment, drivetrain choices, and vehicle mileage, even between very similar models. That said, we offer a variety of lifting and leveling combinations to accommodate the various ride heights and consumer tastes that are out there.
That said, the best way to achieve a perfectly level stance is to first measure the stock ride height of both the front and the rear and find the difference between the two, which is known as the vehicle's rake. Again, this rake tends to be unique to each individual vehicle, hence why we offer so many different kits. To fo full level, you need to subtract the vehicle's rake from the amount the front is being lifted to figure out how much you want to lift the rear.
In your case, the kit is already installed and we need to work out the remaining 1.25" of rake. With a torsion key lift in the front, you're looking at a maximum of 3" of lift so it's tough to go any higher without swapping out the crossmember and control arms. We can, however put a shorter block in the rear to compensate for that rake.
Before any decisions are made, though, can you tell me if there are lift blocks on the truck that came from the factory?
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits No just the blocks that came in the kit from you guys
Got it. As i mentioned before, the simplest way to fix your rake would be to put a shorter set of blocks in the back. Give us a call at 888-810-6791 and we can go over the best options for you.
Trying to find out how you slide the torsion bar out so easy I’ve been trying to get my bar to slide forward for a week or so no I’ve used air harmers and everything you can think can not get the bar to move am I doing something wrong? It’s loose by the keys but stuck on the lower control arm. Lmk please and thank you!!
Have you checked the LCA location? Just with anything, the tb's could be rust/or anything else seized.
Try cleaning off where they meet the LCA and also use a bunch of some penetrating oil.
Might take some time to get enough of the grime and rust, but this should definitely help you out.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits one is kinda twisted in there the other is fine but can’t get either out Ives sprayed a lot of stuff and beat on them for a long time still have not moved
That's rough. I have heard of cutting the keys off, then cleaning up the bar to allow the installation of the new keys. But, that may not work for you if the bar has any kind of twist within the key going on.
The eaiest overall fix is replace bars and use new keys, but this is also the pricier option. Or you can leave what you have in, but the twist is worrisome.
Or, you can continue to soak the keys/bars and hope it loosens things up enough to be able to beat them out.
There are other ideas and suggestion floating about on the web, just gotta look in the right areas.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits the bar is loose up at the keys and the keys are looks just stuck at lcr
Oh, stuck at the LCA, okay, gotcha.
That changes things a bit, but the process is basically the same:
Soak it and beat it out.
I've read of trying to remove it all and using a press, using impact in both directions to break it loose, using heat on the outside so it expands and allows the TB to be removed.
It is not an easy task, but they will come out at some point.
I'm about to get the kit for a dodge Dakota 5.2 4x4 can this be cranked almost all the way up
Hey BeatAssDude! The answer to your question is yes they can be. I will not be an issue in doing that.
Do you know if the kits change on the 2012 Silverado 3500hd cab chassis work truck compared to the 3500hd dually. Im looking into this product.
We haven't had the opportunity to get one of those in yet but the torsion bar indexing should be the same. We do have a few different keys for the Chevy's though as they do have multiple crossmembers.
how much does it stiffen the suspension? don't want to ride in a wood wheel wagon.lol
+Gorman Cassidy
Good question! Generally speaking, even if you lift up the factory keys, the ride is going to get a little rougher. That just comes with the territory of having a torsion bar suspension. With our aftermarket keys, the ride quality will still be nice as long as you don't crank them above 3". Also keep in mind that changing the height of the vehicle raises it's center of gravity, so you will have to get used to the way it handles after the lift. I hope this is helpful, and please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions.
How much does the lift cost for a leveling kit on my 08 Chevy Silverado 15 00??
Hey Alec, thanks for your interest in our kits! Generally, our front kits are around 60-100, and a full kit can be anywhere from 150-200+ depending on the size, and amount of accessories you add on. If you have any questions, please send me a direct message, comment back, or give us call at 888-810-6791 monday-Friday 8am-7pm PST.
do these after market keys give you a little extra height compaired to stock keys??? always wondered why not just use stock keys and turn them up.... also if im wanting to level my 2015 2500 HD and wanted to keep it simple and low cost can i just buy the keys turn them up enough to level with a 295/75/18 tire?? it will extend my shock so i was told i need shock extensions or something to raise the shock up an inch or so.... its a Z71 truck so it does come with upgraded Rancho shocks fyi thanks jake
cranking the stock keys all the way up you can get around 2" of lift, with our keys you can get up to 4" but yes you will need shock extenders if you plan on going up that high.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits Using your kit, does the torsion keys keep the same ride as stock if I lift it 2" ? vs cranking my stock keys to 2" itll ride stiffer?
I've got a 1995 GMC C2500 2wd, would something like this work or will I need a different set up ?

Is it true that a torsion key lift will put a lot of stress on the torsion bar itself? Also is this a good lift to go off roading?
Yes and no. Your torsion bar is designed to twist, that is how to dampens and rebounds. Our lift keys are the exact same as your stock ones but "twist" the bar a little more, but does not create any EXTRA stress. You do not have to worry about the torsion bar at all. As for offroading, this is one of the best forms of lifts as not only is it adjustable so you can fine tune the ride height but ride quality as well. Since you are not adding a spacer there is no added components that are at risk of breaking. Hopefully this helps, but if you have any other questions please give us a call at 888-810-6791 and one of our techs can answer any question you have. Plus when it comes time to purchase you can use the code SupremeSuspensions10 to get a great deal !!
I noticed you didn't use any shock spacers... are spacers necessary?
Hey +Bryan Waters and thanks for your interest in our lift kits. Applying shock extenders are somewhat dependent on the make/model/year range of your ride. Normally shock extensions are not required as your stock shocks usually have enough travel. However, if your shocks are over 50,000 miles or have a less than average travel range, then I would suggest getting shock extensions as they are a cheaper alternative to purchasing new shocks.
We are currently running a 30% off sale for Black Friday, so if you are interested in picking up some extenders, here's our promo code... BLACKOUT30. This will be valid through Monday till midnight.
Any other questions, don't hesitate to call us at 888-810-6791.
What does this thing do? lift the front only?
EXACTLYY !!
Are you needing to do the front differential?
Depending on how far you crank up on the adjusting bolts. Most vehicles can take up to about 2" or lift before needing to do anything to the other components.
what size of tires could you put on
+Johnny Pena
Heya :)
I can certainly help with this. May I ask for the year, make and model of the vehicle? if you have a 2011 - 2015. Chevy SIlverado 2500HD/GMC Sierra 2500/3500 HD, then the largest size we would recommend is 33" x 11.50" I hope this is helpful :) Hit us back anytime
+Supreme Suspensions I have a 2015 2500hd completely stock and 305/55R20 (33x12/20) cooper stt pros and they barely kiss the stabilizer bar at full right turn. not when turning left though.
How much down travel did it loose? Is it something really worth doing? Really asking not being a dick... Can't get a "nice" answer out of RUclips on this one. Everyone seems to get mad when I ask
Hi there +Billyboy4209! There are quite a few reasons why people install lift kits. It's not just about getting that aggressive look that comes with lifting your truck. You can also install bigger tires, while some lifts kits can increase your towing capacity. Since your vehicle is taller, it's much easier to go off-roading since you have higher ground clearance. With a higher front end, you can comfortably fit a winch, or a snow plow. Plus, it just feels awesome when you pull up to a red light, and you realize just how massive your vehicle is compared to everyone else's. Sounds worth it to me. May I ask what you're wanting to do with the truck? I greatly appreciate your time, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions (1-888-810-6791). Happy to answer any other questions.
