Torsion Key Question

[anchorshot]

By just installing new torsion keys, and not adjusting the torsion bolt, will the new keys lift the front end?

yes

Is it better to buy the keys and not change the bolt, or leave the stock keys and crank em?

does the same thing so they say, you may get more lift from the keys, ive had no problems with mine so far, they cause problems when you use the keys then crank the torsion bars-gives you about 3" of lift but causes wear on all front end components

Same thing is accomplished either way. The torsion bars are turned, which lifts the front end. Thing to remember is that whatever amount you lift it by is also how much downtravel you lose, because what you are doing is adjusting the suspension downward. If you want a good 3" of lift, with a 2wd Edge you can get dropped spindles from Pro Comp or Fabtech which mean exactly zero changes in the suspension. They cost more than torsion keys but not as much a lift kit if you had a 4wd.

I'm just looking to level it out, not necessarily lift it. Thanks for the info guys.
