The 7700 bars are the same length as the regular F-150 Supercab and regular cab torsion bars. The Supercrews use shorter bars. The 7700 bars are just stiffer.

I assume the 7700lb. bars are a larger diameter.

I have a set of keys sitting in my truck right now. they are the stock keys from a F-250 light duty I beleive they would work for you, If they are what you are looking for.
Edit, looks like you already got new ones sry i didnt see this thread sooner
