I just installed 285-75-16 H3 wheels/tires on my '00 Tahoe and do not have any rubbing issues with normal driving, but definately plan to install torsion keys soon for more clearance. I have seen keys from $50 - $300 and would like to opinions on which keys you guys/gals have used and any pro/cons. My biggest question with the cheaper keys are of course quality and proper fit.

Thanks !
Dave

get the cam lock ones... the inner part rotates and can be positioned in the key itself, then you have quality, and adjustability.. http://www.thoroughbreddiesel.com/performance_images/suspensionmaxx/products.jpg

Have you maxed out your stock ones? I would not crank any more than about 1.5 or 2 inches after that then cv angles start to get a little steep.

Edit: I think that you can buy some ford keys and you will be able to crank higher that the stock keys.

I would crank the stock ones first you might be able to get enough lift with them and it would save you a little money. But make sure you go and get an alignment after you do it.

thats what i did, so torsion keys would not help for me, the stock ones almost maxed out were at the limit of still be able to get good alignment
