It does look a little low, but not too off the beaten path.  It isn't a z71, so the suspensions aren't the same.  I would be DEFINITELY interested in trying that out!!!  For only ?, shoot.

They tell you what tools you need

This kit will raise the front 2-3 full inches without replacing the torsion bars or compromising the factory ride. Requires only a two-jaw gear puller or GM torsion bar unloading tool for installation. This kit fits 6 Lug 4x4 99-01 K1500 trucks only.

But, they DON'T tell you what you GET.  I am DEFINITELY interested though.  You don't know HOW much I appreciate you finding this!

straight from the company

Thanks for the request, sorry about the delay (holiday weekend).  The kit does not contain new torsion bars, it is consists of new indexing keyways that control the position of the factory torsion bars.  It does not bind the CV or any of that, the only limiting factor is the factory front shocks. (can only go 3" before the stock front shocks top out).  We do sell longer front shocks that will allow a taller adjustment. Installing these keyways does require a slight Toe-In alignment adjustment.

 

Call 805-544-7039 for more information and details, or ordering.

 

thanks

How much travel do the front shocks have BEFORE changing to this new system?  IF they will only travel up 3" afterwards, I would definitely have to upgrade those as well.
