I think the point of 'Aftermarket' Torsion keys is that they re-index the bar so it's not 'cranked up' and twisted like you get when you crank the factory keys. Therefore allowing the torsion bar to sit in the correct stock position and increasing height without the stress, or at least not as much stress as cranking them. I don't see them being worse on other parts then cranking the factory keys.
my stock keys are tweeked on 33 1250s but i hate it. i will measure them up tomorrow for you. to excessive... how do you suppose you get any lift out of keys going by your theroy? from my understanding they twist the bars to get you lifted, aftermarket keys must twist harder to get you higher, i dont see how it would work anyother way...but im not 100% so prove me wrong if thats your thought! all i know is your control arm bushings get put together at ride height, so those are going to get tore up fast because your control arms are now going to be stuck at their max travel and if not either way they will be past your ride height where they were set. it just throws off everything. i wouldnt say so many bad things about them if i didnt get affected by them. ill post the pics of my s10 that got screwed over by aftermarket keys and you can clearly see that it had hardley any lift over stock height. jcro61 ill measure my fender height tomorrow for you! do what youd like to your truck but i wouldnt mess with the keys very much.
I can see where this is all leading anyways. I just sold my scion tc. Once I replace it with another small car I can see a 6" on top of the 3"bl and some huge tires and my gf bitching she cant climb into it.
