When you say raise it...Body or suspension? Suspension....does it already some with new keys? If not then it will help. More details would help answer better.

If you are looking at the ones that I saw...then yes. They will give you a 2 inch lift on the front. Those that I have seen that have bought them from EBay have had good results with them. Post the item number in this thread if you are not sure. The ones that I saw had the description and compared pics from the new to the the factory keys. Easily see the diff.

careful... cranking torsions TOO much results in seriously decreased off road capability. (less suspention flex, less articulating)

its been 20k miles since they've been "turned" up and they are suprisingly just fine. i was ready to put new cv assys on a while ago, but i luckly havent needed to yet. not to mention the truck has 140,000 miles on it.
