yes you can adjust the torsion bars with out keys but you run the risk of breaking something...and your ball joints wear out faster

here's how: http://www.therangerstation.com/tech...orsionBar.html

They re index your t-bars and give you more lift,but they also wear out front end parts alot faster. they are not worth it

Wouldn't cracking up your T bars have almost the same effect as keys?
When i cranked them 2 " on my old ranger I was constantly working on the front end with boots and, bearings. Oh and wheel wouldnt stay ballanced
