torsion bar keys?

[broken_line]

i was thinking about geting a 2" suspension lift from rough country or suspension connection. anyone have any input on the keys? the cv joint shaft is sitting level right now and the front is way lower than the rear on my 99 f150.

Do you not have any adjustment on the ones currently on there?

I say crank up the torsion bars. Its very easy to do and requires very little effort. You should easily be able to get 1-1.5" and that will level out your truck. I did this to my '01 F150 and I loved it.

Just know, you will more then likely need an alignment after adjusting it. This would also be a good time to check the balljoints.

The more you raise it, the more it will change the camber.

is it a real pain to change the keys out? camber is when the wheels would be vertically toed in?

You don't need to change the keys out unless you need more room for adjustment. The only way to know that is to crank the torsion bars to see what ind of adjustment you get.

Yes, you will need to have the alignment checked afterwards. Mine didn't need to be realigned, but there was a slight change in the caster, however not out of spec.

thanks guys! the bolts are all the way backed out right now and could be turned 3/4" more. ill try it tmo and see if it raises it any

[Scott K]

They need to be screwed in to raise the truck.

Have fun! It will make the truck ride rougher, but It does look nicer on the truck and get rid of that lean.
