WHAT IS A LEVELING KIT?
If you own a truck, you’ve probably noticed that the rear of the truck sits higher than the front. As a truck is built to haul heavy loads in the bed, the additional height in the rear is intentional so the truck doesn’t sag when extra weight is added. However, when you’re not hauling something, it might not be the most visually appealing. One easy way that you can fix this is with a leveling kit. A leveling kit allows you to raise the front of the truck a few inches to match with the back.

Installing Torsion Bar Keys:
1. Block off your rear tires and make sure your vehicle is parked with the emergency brake on. Use a hydraulic jack (jacks from spare tire kits won’t be sufficient) and jack stands to lift your front two wheels off the ground. Refer to your owner’s manual for the correct jacking points to safely lift the vehicle. Support with jack stands on the frame of the vehicle – do not rely on the jack to hold the weight of the vehicle while you work.
2. You’re going to want to take the pressure off the suspension and torsion bars. You can use either a sturdy G clamp, like this one from X, or one of these torsion bar removal tools. Attach it to the cross member and tighten so that it presses on your torsion bar keys.
3. Remove the retaining plates by removing the adjusting bolts.
4. Remove your clamp or torsion bar removal tool.
5. Your torsion bar key may fall out easily at this point. Many times the keys can be stuck and will present a challenge to remove. At that point, a sledge hammer and PB Blaster will be your friend as it may take a bit of persuasion to remove the keys. In some extreme cases the keys may need to be cut free from the torsion bars with a torch. This should be left to professionals.
6. You may want to mark on the cross member the exact position to help put in the new key.
7. Once the old keys are out, you’ll be able to see that there’s a difference in angle between the old and new keys, which is how you’ll get the lift. Insert the new torsion bar key.
8. You’re basically going to work backwards now. Re-clamp the key and the cross member. Replace the retaining plates and secure with adjusting bolts.
9. Repeat steps 2-7 on the other side.
10. Make sure that all parts are securely tightened. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to OEM spec or the specs provided in the installation instructions for your kit.
11. Lower your vehicle back down to the ground.
