Re: Measurement of Torsion Key Angle
You really don't need angle. Count the threads side to side should be close but could be off to level. If you are trying to clock key it's too much. How low? I had mine down to max without bump stops but was not worried about tires.

Re: Measurement of Torsion Key Angle
In the pic posted by LVPhotos; see the gap between the torsion key and the torsion support crossmember?
I just made that gap the same. Then parked level, I measured from ground to top of front fender to ensure the drop was the same for both sides.

Re: Measurement of Torsion Key Angle
What i was trying to do was figure out what angle that the torsion keys sit at and then go out and make new torsion keys. With the hex part of the key at the slammed angle, but the key itself in the old (stock) position. So it, would allow the truck to sit slammed with the torsion keys all the way in the stock position. Thanks

Re: Measurement of Torsion Key Angle
Set the truck at new ride hight 60 is too much. 30 would give a good ride and camber 45 might work but no travel. Drop spindles and less key adjustment to keep alignment in check.
