The ford keys and the real chevy aftermarket keys are the same, they both are indexed differently to give more lift, here's a link to what the chevy 2" lift t-keys look like:

they're the same as the ford keys, except there isn't a cutout as you see with the ford keys. If you didn't get much lift for you new keys then you didn't have the bolts tightned enough, they need to be were they were when you took them out, if you still don't like the look, tighten them up a bit, you should get about 2-2.5" of lift with the ford keys, you can go 3" but then your causing undo stress on the suspention components
