You can get them on ebay if you really want them.
You do know that you should be able to crank your t-bars within reason with the stock keys right?

All you need is an 18mm socket...

I was told that after market torsion keys will keep the front from sagging. Or is this wrong?

These trucks have torsion bars for the front suspension?

4wd front suspension use torsion bars up front yes.
To the original poster, are you attempting to lift the truck by cranking the torsion bars? If so, your ride will be worse... Also, the wear on the balljoints will be increased...

my front end sits 2-3 inches lower than the rear, so i want to level it up. and how is it that this would put more wear on the joints if was designed to be at that hieght to begin with? My rear end sits 8 1/2 above the tire (from tire to edge of fender) and the front is 5 1/2 inches (from tire to edge of fender)

If you are restoring it to stock height, it won't. If you are raising it up from stock height, you will be changing the angles and putting more stress on the components, causing them to wear out faster.
But you don't need aftermarket keys, just a jack, jackstands and a rachet.

How is it that the front is 3" lower than the rear to begin with... Have you raised the back? If not, your torsion bars may be weak up front.
