fred96 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default worn t-bars

i have a 96 foor door 4x4 blazer and at 194,000 miles my trucks t-bars are shot ther adjusting bolt is cranked all the way in and my truck sits level even with sagging rear springs

so my question is i was wondering if i got the 2 inch lift from rough country would the torsion keys even attempt to lift my truck or would it do nothing and should i just go ahead and get new torsion bars, and if i need to where would i go to get new bars?

i was thinking they might still lift it because from what ive heard the keys just allow you to crank it higher than you could with the stock keys so i was thinking if i was able to crank it higher than it is now with the keys it would still lift it..... if that makes any sense haha

i say just get brand new torsion bars and fix the problem the right way the first time, the new keys will just put unwanted wear on ur cv's due to the extreme angle.

yeah the keys will let you crank it up higher at least up to stock height. The downside is you could snap a tbar since they are so worn. I would get new tbars. it will save you a lot of money and hassle in the long run
