So last year I bought some cheap no name leveling kit off ebay for my 02 1500 4x4. I put it In and I did have it aligned shortly after the installation and it started to sag. At that time I didn't have them maxed out it was sagged down to probably around stack height so I maxed them out and then it was back up to a level hight. And ever since then it has sagged back down and now looks stock. In the effort to cure this I have decided I should just get a more well know company like rough country or ready lift I was also looking at heavy metal and I was leaving towards the heavy metal kit this time around. I guess what I'd really like to know why my keys sagged so it doesn't happen again. And also what you guys would recommend for a lift Thanks

The only thing that I can think of would be the torsion bars themselves. I would also put the stock keys back in and save the money. Aftermarket keys are a waste of money, the same results can be accomplished with the factory keys.

In this instance it wouldn't make any difference! Unless the aftermarket keys were to bend/stretch, a $10 set vs the $120 known brand name, the results would be the same.
Bottom line, the factory key will provide the level needed and then some. Aftermarket key are indexed to allow for more lift, but you don't want to go more than 2-2.25" unless you like working on your front end.
