2" superlift
 
Hey Guys, First off id like to admit i didn't do all my research prior to purchasing my lift. I purchased a 2" Super lift. All new ball joints, inner and outer tie-rod's adjusting sleeve's, pit-man arm as well as idler arm. After all this i realized the super lift kit did not include torsion bar keys. Ive been doing some reading the last couple of hours and correct me if i am wrong but because of the different upper control arms (longer?) will i not have to much positive camber? i plan on doing 1.5" of lift via torsion bar crank but also did not check the height prior to starting. I have also read numerous times that there really is no need for new keys unless the old keys\bars are worn. IMO if they are worn and already maxed out there is probably an issue else where that needs to be resolved. Bottom line....Do i require the super lift re-indexed torsion keys or can i re-use my existing?
Thanks!

i never had a problem on the 91 ext cab i owned with the 2" lift a-arms and i never put the torsion keys in, just remember when you tighten the torsion bars that it WILL ruin the ball joints faster depending how much you tighten them. i would say just to throw the a-arm on and see how its is before dumping money on new torsion bars and keys. like i said earlier in this post the 91 ext cab had 190k on it and the torsion bars and keys were fine so i dont see the need of you getting new ones
