What is out there besides keys for the front of a gmt400 4wd truck for lowering parts. I would like to get to 4 1/2-5" in the front but keys are only about 3 1/2" max

thats because you didn't take out the bump stops and either cut them down or replace them with smaller ones

I haven't gotten anything yet. I know I will need to pull the stops but what else is out there. Keys won't get desired low I seek.

if you have the factory bump stops in...you can't go any lower because your sitting on your stops...keys will bring you down to 5" after you modify the stops

Really, I thought they were all 3" max. Since OBS and NBS drop keys are the same part number I would be correct in assuming 2500HD keys are the same as our drop keys like on the NBS trucks rite? How did yours align with the keys decranked that far? Do you have any issues with the CVs binding?
