Why does the torsion key top out at the top?
The most noticeable is the key tops out inside of the top of the torsion key cross member. What this does is prevents the torsion bar from rotating any further. If you crank up your torsion key to the point that it tops out or near tops out, you will have zero down travel (rebound) past the adjusted static height point.
Can you raise a Chevy truck with torsion keys?
From what I understand, the leveling kit I’m considering will raise my front up to 2.5″ with torsion key kits and the rear either 1.5″ or 1” using coil spring spacers. Does anyone have any experience with a system like this? How does it affect the ride, handling etc.?
How does the torsion key work on a readylift?
Torsion Keys. The hexagon hole in the lever key fits snug to the location on the torsion bar where it is designed to slide onto and hold snug to the bar with no gaps or “slop”. This is the point where the torsion key applies adjustable force to the torsion bar and ultimately rotates the torsion bar and providing “lift”.
Where is the torsion bar on a wheel?
In between is a location for the lever – the torsion key – which basically holds the torsion bar at the preferred height required for how the vehicle is supposed to sit. As the wheel cycles up or down, the torsion bar twists around its axis.
How does the torsion key work on a lift bar?
The hexagon hole in the lever key fits snug to the location on the torsion bar where it is designed to slide onto and hold snug to the bar with no gaps or “slop”. This is the point where the torsion key applies adjustable force to the torsion bar and ultimately rotates the torsion bar and providing “lift”.
Are there any issues with torsion key leveling?
Just curious if anyone has run into any issues with installing the torsion key leveling system. I’m interested in doing it to my truck but if its going to cause problems down the road i might as well buck up and go for a full lift.
Why are the torsion keys on a truck different?
Click to expand… Yup, Adampaul is right. The keys are indexed differently so that the torsion bar gets twisted more which gives you the lift.
How big of a hole is the torsion key?
We designed our keys to mimic the factory keys in shape and function but changed – in degrees – the hexagon hole in the key enough to where it can provide a maximum of 2.5 inches of torsion lift with the torsion key remaining in the stock position inside of the cross member.
