I installed a set of torsion keys to level out my 2005 but the front still sits low. I put on pro comp shocks supposed to be for the leveling kit didn't help. Wondering if anyone has suggestions would putting in some 2500 shocks give it more height?

Shocks won't help its not their job to lift. How far off are you from level?

Just making sure but did you adjust your torsion bars? Just putting on new keys I don't think will have any effect.

Crank up the adjustment bolts on your torsion bars. As stated above, shocks do nothing for lift on your truck.

I did adjust the torsion bars they are cranked so you can barely see the bottom of the key and im still sitting a good inch if not 2 lower thought maybe 2500 shocks would be longer and help it not squat as much

How much of the adjustment bolt is still out? When you installed the new keys were they put on correctly? If they were put on rotated too far up they won't be giving you the proper amount of preload on the torsion bars for the lift.

Shocks don't carry the weight of the truck at all so longer shocks won't help with this issue at all.
