So I just bought my first ram 1500 this weekend and want to level my truck. I was just wondering what is better cranking or buying new keys. I want to keep some rake so I would probably add 1.5-2". Is there any major differences between the two options such as ride quality and any accelerated wear to the front end. Also if I do level it will i need new shocks? I hope this made sense I'm pretty new to this. Thanks for any help.

Cranking the stock keys = free
buying new keys = throwing money away for nothing.
The ride will be exactly the same either route you go. All you are doing when you crank the torsion bars is adding pre-load to the torsion bars, thus raising the front end.
