What is the difference between aftermaket adjusters (sold for a 1-3 in lift ) ,and just turning up my stock adjusters?Do the aftermarket ones improve ride quality? Thanks Guys.

I'd stay away from the indexers. They will only harshen the ride and if, they produce more lift it will only hasten the destruction of the IFS components, IMO.

Aftermarket adjusters just allow you to crank further.
Usually the upper a-arms will also need to be replaced to allow adjustment to correct camber.

I have thought about indexers only from the standpoint of my t-bar bolts are almost maxed out. The re indexed keys would start with the bolts all the way out and should not cause any more wear than the maxed t-bars. It might also keep the keys from topping out on the cross member not sure if the ride would be any worse or better as it is my truck rides like I am sitting on steel rods for shocks. I hate a mushy suspension.
I may be wrong on the keys but that 's my 2 cents worth.

Keys themsleves won't effect the ride in any manner, even if topped out completely. I wouldn't recomend it, those things are a PITA to change and it won't do anything for you (other than give you to option to destroy the front suspension).
