Description:
General Motors introduces the new 2011 2500HD/3500HD platform and ReadyLift® responds by developing the strongest, safest leveling key system on the market. The ReadyLift® 66-3011 2011-UP Silverado/Sierra HD Forged Leveling Key kit uses ReadyLift®'s time tested engineering technology to bring to market exactly what ReadyLift® customers demand.
The new GM 2500 HD suspension required developing an entirely new leveling kit system, a system that includes Forged Torsion Leveling Keys engineered to give the 2011-UP GM 2500/3500 HD trucks a level stance while maintaining the factory ride. Even more important is that ReadyLift® is the only company to offer a forged torsion key that is both 25% stronger than OEM key and designed using the same features as the OEM key. Some important areas such as the wider keyway shoulder have been maintained with the ReadyLift® leveling key. It is important to understand that the 2011-2012 HD trucks have an entirely new suspension design that is twice as large as the previous model. The factory design specific structural features in the 2011 key requirements and ReadyLift® chose to maximize those same features in ReadyLift®'s new forged torsion key. You won't see other companies doing the research that ReadyLift® does. Most of the 2011-2012 on the market use previous model design elements which are not designed for use on a much bigger and heavier 2011-2012 2500/3500 HD truck!
The NEW 66-3011 Leveling Kit includes two new Forged Torsion Keys, four front shock extensions which allows the customer to retain the use of the stock shocks, and four new shock mounting nuts for a precise and professional installation. Each key and shock spacer is protected with a durable e-coated finish to prevent rusting commonly found on other keys. Allows for the installation of larger aftermarket plus-size tires and wheels. ReadyLift® offers a Lifetime Warranty on all of its products. From light-duty to heavy-duty Trucks or SUV's, ReadyLift® is the SMART way to lift your truck.
Features & Benefits:
• Keep stock suspension “feel” while raising the 2011-UP GM 2500/3500 HD truck 2.25” in the front which is the required lift to achieve a level stance.
• Gain tire and ground clearance
• Kits include important front shock extensions and hardware.
• Stock ride quality retained when properly installed.
• Easily removed for leased vehicles
• Guaranteed for the life of your vehicle
• The fastest, least expensive way to level or lift your truck
• The Strongest and Safest Forged Torsion Key Leveling system on the market today!
• NOTE: 2011-2012 GM HD trucks require the use of ReadyLift® 66-7816A Universal Torsion Key Unloading Tool.
ReadyLift® Torsion Key Features:
• Forged for ultimate strength
• Safely raises trucks up to 2.25 inches for a level stance
• Does not "over crank" torsion bar
NOTE: The 2011-2012 model GM HD trucks tend to exhibit far greater bump steer than 2010 and older models. Whether stock, lifted or leveled, the bump steer can be noticable on the 2011 trucks. GM recognized there is a design issue with the steering system on the 2011-2012 HD trucks and have since released a statement recommending a steering stabilizer to correct the problem.

Not everyone wants a monster truck that won't fit into the local mall's underground parking lot. Ready Lift has built its whole reputation on the fact that a lot of us would like it if our trucks were just a little bit taller and still rode like the factory intended. The company offers leveling kits that raise the front suspension of your truck or SUV to be even with the rear, and mild front and rear lift kits are available for select vehicles. In all cases, the factory ride is preserved due to the company's unique suspension and shock spacers, giving the vehicle owner a great looking truck that is still comfortable around town, all for a very reasonable price.

Q: What is a torsion key? Why buy them?
A: According to DJM Suspension, "To understand what a torsion bar key does we need to take a look at the whole torsion bar front end. First, a torsion bar is really a spring. It works just like a coil spring except it twists instead of compressing and expanding up and down. The word torsion means - to twist, and a torsion bar is a long bar lying parallel to the frame and the ground with both ends of the bar fixed. One in the frame and the other end is fixed in the lower control arm. As the lower control arm cycles up and down it twists the torsion bar because the other end is fixed in the frame and cannot spin. Torsion bar diameter and length will determine the rate of the bar, just as the wire diameter and the number of coils determine a coil springs rate. The lowering torsion bar key works by changing the indexing of the bar, rotating the hexagon shaped mount. When your truck is setting still, there is a certain amount of weight being held up by the torsion bar. This weight or load is a designed amount and dictates how high your truck sets. The lowering torsion bar key by rotating the index (hex shaped mount) causes that designed load to occur at a lower ride height, while everything else stays the same.
