a different torsion key ?

I installed a Rancho 4" lift on my truck. The problem I have is I'm unable to level the truck using the factory torsion keys. The drivers side is maxxed out and the passengers side has about a 1/4" left.

The CV axles have little to no angle on them almost perfectly horizontal.

Would you changing out the keys to Re indexed keys to level the truck?


Thanks. Brasco

Don't waste your money on the aftermarket keys. A member at FTW had the same problem with a Fabtech lift several years ago. Turns out the shop installed his torsion bar adjustment keys in the wrong position. Even cranked up all the way his torsion bars barely had any preload and he wasn't getting a full six inches of lift.. I bet you have the same problem.

Where should the proper index be? I marked the indexing at the LCA, but stupid me forgot to do the same on the torsion key side....

Thanks for the help wandell

I'm not sure but I'm sure they only need to be indexed one more notch.
