I would strongly advise against it. Those reindexed torsion bar keys are probably the biggest ripoff in the automotive industry. I mean, increasing the torsion bar preload is increasing the torsion bar preload. It doesn't matter if you use the OEM keys or aftermarket keys. The aftermarket keys just allow you to put way, way too much preload on the torsion bars. I think a far better option would be to add a 3 inch body lift and crank up the preload on your torsion bars enough to level it.
