Measurement of Torsion Key Angle

[Gianyveedub]

Hey all, I am trying to see if anyone has or can take a measurement of their torsion bar angle on their lowered 1960-1962 trucks. I am trying to figure out if it is around 60 degrees or so. Here is an example of what I am talking about



If you can help, Thanks

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.

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.

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.

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.
