Hey all. I have a 2003 Yukon 4x4. I'm wanting to lift the front a bit by turn the torsion keys. Whats the safest amount to lift the front with the stock keys and shock bracket location? Will the stock keys be adequate enough to level the truck and fit 265/70R16 tires? Or could I go even bigger? And any recommendation to cheap places for tires? Thanks.

I purchased a set of Ready Lift torsion keys and had them installed. I didn't lose any of my ride quality and i was able to fit BF Goodrich 285 75 16 tires on my truck without any issues.

Search, there is tons of info on this topic

Stock keys may gain you 1". aftermarket / ford will max at 2.5-3. The higher you go, the worse the ride and the harder on your front Ujoints. I think 2-2.5 is prob safe and will level you. Bigger tires will fit, but you start running into rubbing issues and fitment issues depending on your wheel choice.
