You might want to contact D about this. He is working on a good deal on drop keys right now and might be able to do lift keys if there is enough interest. Just be aware that lifting via stock torsion bars can cause a rough ride, increased ball joint wear and premature sacking of the torsion bars. You will also need to check/correct camber and toe in if you lift it much.

Once again, going to the max is very hard on the ball joints, which are not very robust even at the stock adjustment. It also forces the shocks to top out much more. You can expect to replace front suspension components more often with a torsion lift. Tires, too, especially if you don't attempt to correct the static alignment.

Cranking the adjusters and/or reindexing the keys is not a true lift. All it does is push the equilibrium position of the suspension to a different location within the stock wheel travel. Reindexed lift keys just give your adjustment bolts the potential to exceed the adjustment that can be done with the stock keys.

you did a body lift right? use the smaller bed bolts that were the originals. Guy at work has had his like this for 6 months, no problem. He has atleast 3 inches of lift from the torison bars, it gave him about another inch or so. I'm doing it to mine as soon as i clean out my truck to find 1 other bolt.
