Idk about those keys, the bad thing about cranking the torsion bars is not what you do to the bars, but what the crank does to your front end parts. Those keys will either a)make that wear much worse or more likely b)add no crank that you can't already accomplish with stock keys.

1.5 in crank in front, block in rear so basically leveling kit with 33s will give you the look

I ran 33x12.50's on 15x10's with just a crank, 1" block, and minor trimming on my '92 RCSB. I would bet you wouldn't have to do the trimming on the back of the fender if you ran an 8" wide wheel. Valance and bumper definitely though.

well i really want to give it a lifted look, but i like the look of your 92. most of all i need to change my shocks.
so i was thinking these? with just a 1'' block and crank.
