Pre Key Mod

[Muscleford]

I searched the forums for any info but wasn't able to find any.

Is there a how to on this site or any other site?

I have reviewed some drawings of the suspension so I am familiar with how it all comes apart. Here are my major questions:

The key is on the hex end of the torsion bar, how do you know how to orient the key on the hexs of the torsion bar, in other words what clock position do you place the key on the torsion bar? Will it only go on the torsion bar in one clock position? If you orient it wrong you could severely twist the torsion bar, causing over stress damaging or snapping the torsion bar.

How may turns on the adjuster bolt, how far, do you raise the key to just level a 2011 truck? All I want to do is level the truck front to back.

Thanks for any help you can give.

If you just want to level your truck front to back just crank the stock key.

That was what I have been thinking. I read on one of the boards that the pre key was better because it had less impact on the suspension geometry, which puzzled me because the pre key mod would also twist the T Bar just like cranking the factory key. Seems like cranking the current key is a lot less work.

My truck is 2" lower in the front measured at the fender edge to the ground at the middle of the wheel, can I get that much out of cranking the T Bar without stressing the T Bar and the front drive train and suspension?

Thanks for the input.
