Does anyone have experience with the Proryde leveling kits? Would add the keys in the front mess with the front suspension at all?

Of course. Dick with the keys, dick with the ride-height.Would add the keys in the front mess with the front suspension at all?
Ha! Well said. The consensus is pretty much you can crank the front stock keys, get it aligned, and deal with worse ride quality. Or you can buy aftermarket keys that allow you to crank it wayyy beyond what it was ever supposed to be (aftermarket keys are just indexed slightly higher than stock ones), absolutely destroy the ride quality, taking out cv's and tie rods in the process, regret it, and then buy a suspension lift.Of course.

So would a basic suspension lift be a better way to go?Ha! Well said. The consensus is pretty much you can crank the front stock keys, get it aligned, and deal with worse ride quality.

Really depends on what you're after. IMO, yes a lift is superior, but if you're sticking with stock tires, you may just want to crank your stock keys up a little and get it aligned right away afterwards. It'll give you a better leveled look without costing you much at all. or if you're trying to fit some bigger tires without trimming or lifting too much, then cranking stock keys also is a good idea.So would a basic suspension lift be a better way to go?
I suppose that is the question... what are you trying to achieve? Ground clearance? leveling? fit bigger tires?How much lift you looking for?
My goal is to fit either 32s or 33s on with 16x10 wheels with slight offset. I don’t want to trim at all unless absolutely need too. Im fine with a small suspension lift or body lift im just looking for the best route to take.Really depends on what you're after.

if you're looking for extra height on your ride, a lift is the "best" way to go, although slightly less economic. A body lift is also an option that doesn't cost much, and is probably easier to do yourself than a full suspension lift, but there's no actual advantage (plus they don't look great with the drop-frame on these trucks... especially without nerf bars/running boards.
