Ride quality & Torsion Key Lift?

RE: Ride quality & Torsion Key Lift?
These only allow you to crank the torsion bar tighter. At stock height, with either keys, the torsion bars are cranked at the same tightness. The torsion bar tightness dictates the ride height. These keys add extra height by allowing you to crank past the normal range, overcranking if you will. The tighter you crank, the stiffer the ride.

FYI -- I cranked the torsion bars all the way up with offroad competition shocks. Rides like frickin' tank -- have gone through six wheel bearings, four ball joints and both cv axles. Then again she's seen more mud than the South has tobacca. I'm a put the keys in, longer control arms and add a leafs. I agree it's a truck, not a caddy!

I have a question? I have a 2001 blazer LT. I bought a 3in block lift for the rear and 3in tor-bar keys. Now i keep hearing the problems from cranking the t-bar. Now my question is as far as daily driving will anything be affected or do problems mainly occur due to off-roading?

DO NOT attempt to achieve a 3" suspension lift what so ever. Anything even approaching 2" will cause increased wear on the ball joints and the CV shafts regardless of offroad play.

Swartkk is right and furthmore, it leaves the front suspension to "top out" a lot. I've also read on a few other forums that the undue stress of severe lifts to these Blazers can cause frame failure just in front of the cab - Between the first body/cab mount and the upper/lower control arms... and, that's a bad day for anyone!
