If that's true then either the stock keys need to be turned up, or swapped out with the green keys.

* - I won't use the brackets and will opt for longer shocks instead (BILSTEIN-BE5-E381-T0).

Correct its the green keys that give you the lift. In most cases the factory keys do not have enough adjustment left to effectively lift the H2. The H2 keys were designed for 3/4 ton trucks that actually weigh less than the H2 so from the factory they are already cranked further than they would be on a 2500 truck.

I am going with the new Racho RS5000's They just released a set for a torsion bar lifted H2. Now if someone just had them in stock....
