Default torsion keys

I finally got around to installing my BDS upper control arms and new keys, i cranked the keys up with a 2 jaw puller to get the adjustment bolts bolt on. Talk about a hard crank and stiff suspension, lol! I dont even have the adjustment bolts cranked in very far, not even close to stock specs. Anybody else have this happen with new keys?

New keys are better indexed to provide the lift without having the get the adjuster bolt all the way in. How much did the new control arms run you? I gotta think about doing my UCA bushings...figure while I've got 'em off might as well put in the better UCA

I got the BDS arms for $400 shipped from louisville 4wd, they can be had for a little less if you shop around. They are really nice and if you break one BDS gives you a new one for free, i cant see them breaking anyways since they are stout. The stock arms arent much cheaper if you get good ones so its worth the upgrade in my opinion. My suspension seems really stiff with the new keys is why i asked, like i said before the bolts are barely cranked in now and it sits higher too. I could probably clear 37s now, lol! [8D]
