Hello!
I just signed up as I have some questions and thought the best thing to do is go to the ones who know these trucks inside and out.
I am no rookie to working on cars and DIY stuff. I come from years of working on Volkswagens and Audis. But this truck world is another dimension to me kind of.
Truck:
2005 GMC Canyon 2wd w/ Off Road Package
Wheels:
Pro Comp Bandido
17x9
-6 Offset
Tires:
BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2
275/70/17
Suspension:
Bilstein 4600 Series (front/rear)
Problem:
Tires rub when steering is fully cranked (left and right)
I am looking to lift the truck a little to help with the rubbing but cant decide what route to go as I am unfamiliar with leaf springs, torsion bar suspension. I've taken the truck on light trails and decent grade hills but nothing crazy and probably wont do anything crazier than that. This truck is also daily driven.
Supreme Suspension Front And Rear Lift Kit ($232):
Rear shackles
New torsion keys

Rough Country Leveling Kit ($70):
Rear Shackles
Torsion Key Spacer
Shock Spacers

My dilemma is brand new torsion keys vs torsion key spacers. I know nothing about these things and am wondering what are the pros and cons of the 2. Pros and cons of both the kits as well if any.
Looking for the more reliable route and if there are any better leveling kits than the ones I listed above please share.
Any help and insight is much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
