I installed Ready Lift torsion key on my 2005 GMC Sierra. Got 2 1/2 lift in the front. Installed 285/70-17 tires. Cheap and easy way to level truck out.

Why does that kit seem to be the most expensive? What makes it better than superlift or trailmaster?

I purchased mine from Chux Trux for $150.00, $89.00 to install. I like doing stuff myself, but for $89 bucks I couldn't pass it up.

I am a young guy. So, all of my friends and family ask me for games, electronics and things of that nature for christmas. When they ask me what I want for christmas, I tell them two biga** steel bolts!

What do you guys think about this torsion lift? I went with it because it is forged steel and have the best designed brackets so I can keep the same feeling in my ride and get that lift safely.
