Excellent I think this will give me the lift im lookin for!
Now before i buy some longer torsion bolts, what about torsion keys? I know it would be a lot more expensive but how exactly do torsion keys lift the front end?
Thanks,

Have you seen some lift keys somewhere? I ask because I never have. Basically the torsion bar has a hexagon end on both ends. The front is in the lower control arm, the rear is in the key which is what the bolt actually pushes against. Hence you tighten the bolt which twists down on the lower control arms giving you a "lift". BTW don't tighten them with the truck on the ground it would be really hard to turn and could end breaking the bolt.
Here is an Explorer with torsion keys. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/1767983/1
How do the keys cause you to gain lift?
Also, if your not "Elite", then how did you get an avatar (picture) by your name?
Thanks,

just remember when doing the TT you lose downward travel. you trade it in for lift.

Ammo.. thats weird on the bolts i ordered mine online and got two of them.
Yes, actually I got them yesterday. It turns out that the connection between the store and their online ordering system is none existent almost. The store is the one that upped the quantity. I got a hold of Fastenal, and got everything sorted out. Although I thing going with 120mm ones was a little too long lol. Now I have my TT back, but I've got bolts sticking out a little.
You know Fastenal does sell them in like 90, 100, 110, 120 lengths right?
You only need one bolt right? Or should I order two? I did my TT today after the shackels. Everything seemed to be fine except I see a little lean, to the driver side (go figure). Also, about how many turns (if you can remember) did it take to get around two inches of lift?
