Adjusting the torsion bars or ford keys


Recommended Posts

Some people have been asking why tightening there torsion bars or using ford keys makes the ride stiff. I finished a page explaining whats going on. Check it out.

 

Why so stiff? Look here!

 

Another thing that it could be is that your hitting your bumpstops at that height. I had to remove mine. Check those for clearance and maybe get some low profile ones. Also check to see if you shocks are long enough by unbolting the bottom bolt and making sure that when the truck is jacked up the shock still reaches. It could be bottoming out in which case you would only need longer shocks. Also you may want to check your tie rod ends in the same fashion. Jack it up and unbolt them to make sure they reach. The ball joints on those tie rod to centerlink joint only go so far. They may be at there limit which is really dangerous. They could snap and you wouldnt be able to steer.
