Torsion Keys And Suspension Lifts

[robfarrer]

Hi. I have a 2002 chevy Z71 with a 6" procomp lift. I need 1 more inch of lift because my 35" tires rub just alittle when i turn and back up. My torsion bars are all the way up now and have been for 5 years with no problems. Can i use torsion keys to lift the front 1 more inch with the 6" lift togather?

i may be wrong but a local custom shop was going to put on a suspension lift on for me because i have a 3 inch leveling with the keys and a one inch spacer in the back and my 33's were rubbing in the front but they said that the keys would have to be taken out not sure why so i just put on a 3 inch body lift and love it.

 

Like i said i am not sure but some one else must know

 

you can just call or email some one that installs lift kits and they will tell you if it can or can't be done

no. if your torsion bars are cranked all the way already you are maxed out on that method.

 

if you already have 6" of suspension lift, why not add a small body lift like mentioned above?

Keys will allow you to go a tad higher, but that "5 years with no problems" will come to an end. Cranking the stock keys to the max already puts a extra stress on the suspension parts, any higher and it won't be good for the truck, your wallet, and your safety. Like mentioned, I would look into de-cranking, then adding a 3" body lift, or leave the keys where they are and adding a 1.5" body lift.

Zone 1.5" BL

 

Love the truck! Want to do the same for mine. Just gotta come up with the $$$!

Nice truck man. I've got a 2.5" level and a 3" body lift myself. It scrubs exactly like yours does. The 1.5" BL should solve your problems.
