Torsion
Bar Keys
Vehicles equipped with torsion bars
have a certain amount of adjustment built into the factory system.
This adjustment takes place via a bolt that indexes on a torsion key
attached to each torsion bar. Aftermarket keys claim to change the
indexing to allow you to get lift without adding as much energy and
force to the torsion bars than if you cranked the bars with the
factory keys. But they may also allow you to crank higher than the
stock key which could start wearing out CV's and balljoints.
Also, some manufacturers claim that
their keys are 25% stronger than the factory cast keys, and that the
cast keys could break over time from the added force from cranking the
torsion bars.
