Fast forward today. When I decided to lift the H2 to get 40’s under it, I ordered a set of keys to crank up the front end and a set of spacers under the rear springs.

So today I finally got a chance to install my new keys. Once pulled, I realized they were IDENTICAL to the ones I had already installed. What a freakin’ moron.

On the bright side, cranking up the keys gave me an add’l 3”. When I install the rear spacers, I’ll level the truck off and raise or lower the front as necc.

PS. Anyone want a brand new set of keys to raise your front end, I’ve got a set, $90 shipped.

PSS. When I received the H2 back from the duramax conversion, I received a set of torsion bars out of the HD2500 that the engine came out of. I installed them into the H2 today and they’re definitely bigger. I can’t tell if the extra (not much but noticeable) stiffness is from cranking them up to 3” or using the thicker torsion bars. Thoughts?

I thought you were going to say that when you went to convert your truck to deisel, you discovered that you already converted it...

I'm no expert but my guess is the stiffness is from both, cranking and thicker bars, but the majority of it is from the thicker bars.
