Torsion Key

[John Vincent]

Hi i was told that if i do a 2" torsion key lift that i will need to get new torsion keys. Is this correct? Thanks

Incorrect. Just tighten the bolt and then get an alignment. Don't go over 2" if you're 4wd.

In order to do a torsion key lift, you would need to get the lifted torsion key...



My question is... I am interested in doing the torsion key lift, but don't want to bother with tightening of the bolt... Is OK to get the 2 or 3 inch torsion key lift without it hurting the torsion bar or anything on the 4wd?



My plan is to install the 4 inch Superlift. Add the 3 inch torsion key up front and 2 inch longer hangers in the rear. Add all that to my current 3 inch body lift.

You don't need aftermarket keys. The factory ones are adjustable. It's not my money, though.

I understand, Thanks for the heads up... and alot of tips you have put on the site.

I wouldn't hurt to get aftermarket keys and they may actually be stronger (or weaker, who knows?) but they're not absolutely necessary. I looked into buying them when I first got the Sport Trac but decided to just try twisting the stock keys, at the advice of many other owners, and go from there. That's been good so far.
