Forged Torsion Key Front Leveling Kit
The Skyjacker C101KE is a 2 inch front torsion key suspension leveling kit for 1988-2006 GM 1/2 Ton 4WD 6-Lug Trucks & SUVs. Forged torsion keys re-engineer the factory torsion bar adjustment point to level the front end with the rear, correcting the factory rake without compromising ride quality or steering geometry. Shock extension hardware is included to maintain the stock shocks at the new ride height, and the forged construction matches OE manufacturing for long-term durability.
