torsion keys vs. cranking

[Kyle M.]

aren't keys that allow you to crank the bar more the same as cranking the keys? Same difference right? I mean they are both doing the same thing, so IMO I would just do the free lift and crank em. I did this on my old s10 and it work fine, just rode a little rougher.

Get longer torsion bar bolts, from the stories I've heard, keys are too much for the 98+ SLA IFS and will only cause you more problems. I don't know if the dealer will be able to supply you with longer bolts but it'd be worth a try. I'm curious if earlier gen 4 torsion bar bolts would work..I wouldn't be surprised if they did work and the thread was the same... I'd look into it, say 1998 or 1999 T-bar bolts that are longer than the newer ones. If any1 else has any more information please chime in. But definately go for longer bolts and not keys.
