Thoughts/opinions before i attempt this.

As many of you know. Ive had torsion bar issues since day 1. Even after my lift kit and full crank, my truck has what i call the 'gangta-lean' in the front. I hate how it looks and so do all my friends. But today in class, i had a lightbulb moment:

-Since my torsion bars are fatigue, as in, both hexes at the end don't line up. what if i flip them? as in, put the right on the left and left on the right, so instead of the keys facing slightly up, they will face slightly down?

Whole reason why im asking this is because my main concern is i wont be able to use my torsion tool and get it back into the spot and slide the thread under it due to it being pre-loaded downwards. any help will be appreciated. this will save me alignment if i go to take them off

EDIT: Woah! now i just got what ya meant. if you just flip them that should work. but i dont see how it wouldnt. damn, i had to read it a few to get it.

If your bars are weak then buy lift keys if you don't want to buy new bars. But the best thing to do is buy smaller blocks.

I have an extra set of keys. Lift keys and stock.... I'll take pics of both tomorrow and them flipped next to each other so you can see the difference!
