- I hit up Summit racing for some performance parts to give my truck a Leveled playing field. I got some High COuntry 2 inch torsion keys for my truck which also came with the shocks to compensate for the ride height increase. I recommend if you plan to do this to your truck that you spray your torsion bar at both sides with some lubricant to make for knocking it out easier.

So...I kinda like your video the best... most of the videos are shop techs with all the fancy tools..you throw on some coveralls never stop being a dad grunted groaned and made it a real deal video.. I think your video is super underrated and deserves about a million stars!! Well done sir thanks for the real DIY guy video... sweet ride
Note for people that don't know. (Take your front end off the ground just a little to release the pressure more) great vid!!!
I know, I was just about to leave a comment to mention that....lol
Well done! I would have been lost without the kids interrupting... Standard operation in my garage/driveway/life... Thanks!
Kids interrupting. Needing this that & the other. Ahh yes. Story of my life
Nice work. This will help out on my 1 ton key swap. I wasn't sure how far that was supposed to go up. I even bent my key tool. 😀
only video that’s been clear on what to do. glad i came across this
Great video! We appreciate your business.
Instablaster.
Kid cameos are the best, this was the most helpful video i have found of this, but i would have used that impact you had running the tool up in there, because im reckless
Hi,this is the best video of doing this job I have seen so far. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR !
Thanks to you well.
That cleared up alot of confusion I had great video most detailed and step by step I've seen you really made it a great video thanks for the help 👍
When I re-installed my key I had the front end off the ground so the suspension wasn't loaded as much. It made it easier on the tool. And I put in the adjuster bolt in before removing the tension from the tool. That way you only had to load it the one time with the tool and when you removed the tool the adjustment was already set. Of course with a 2 inch lift key I'm sure its stil going to be tougher than putting the stock one back in. Good job!
You're supposed to do it with the front end off the ground
Thanks, knowing the what and how before I start the job is half the battle.
Great video man! I unloaded the key and tight now what!? Moments after I found your video😂
Thanks for the video!! Helped a lot! I actually had the same problem with my torsion bar being stuck! Thanks again!
love the video, needed to know how to do this so i can put my torsion bars back in my 97. but please, do not hammer your socket. invest in a punch. makes things a lot easier. make sure it’s a flat head punch. just a tip, still a good video
Yeah I didn't have one that day and I didn't have time to go get one. Sometimes you got to improvise a little bit LOL
Sir! Very good job, you did it🙏👍
Thanks to your video!! I made one too once I’m done uploading it I’ll leave another comment,
I got a lifehack using the torsion bar removal tool as a punch!!
Clean the treads and other piece, apply milk base grease o. Threads. Use a combo square to figure out base line.raise circle on control arm to release tension and install clip and screw until it makes contact. Measure using small combo square and do the same to the otherside.
Thanks for the straight forward video! much appreciated!
Fyi Harbor Freight has a 1/2" Dr ratchet wrench with a telescoping handle. It works awesome for a bit longer handle for extra leverage. I use mine all the time but it doesn't break your wallet.
Good video, cute kids.
top shelf, thanks for sharing and be blessed
Thank you sir exactly what I needed to know
thanks man, this helped me out at my shop
Glad I could help
The lift you’re not looking for in my case. My torsion bars are maxed out on my 2500 and it rides rougher than shit, I’m going back to oem keys. But I still want the nose level rather than pointing to the ground.
now you get to do the other one :)
Thanks. Good work
No bs video thanks 🙏
Thanks for the video it helps me
How do you know what position to put the new key? Not to angled or in the center?
Very helpful, thanks!
I need to study for this👍
Did you lift the front of the truck up first before trying to tighten the new one? Looks like maybe not. Mine was a lot easier once on the lift. Great video!
No I didn't, I tightened and drove around the block, checked and made adjustments.
Very cool vid sir where you mentioned you can rent the tools to do this job where could I find these clamp to rent
The torsion clap...what brand, how much , and where did you get it??
I got it from Summit Racing I believe the brand is rough country
Could you have used your impact to tighten up the new one?
Yea I could have, not sure what circumstances kept me from doing so. After driving a little after job be sure to check your fender height from ground and adjust key as needed on each side.
@@CurtARoll
Help me, how high from ground to bottom of fender/bumper is standard? How many turns of bolt on block?
I measured distance at start of job and measured after install and cranked it up until I got 2inch lift they advertised
Did you have any trouble with getting the alignment after
No I did not
Thanks man !
The unloader is at an angle I can’t get that first piece out.
Thank you
Gave you a nice pump didn’t it lol
Yes indeed
You said you rent the torsion key removal tool where did you rent it from ?
Thank you great video very helpful
Any parts store. Most loan all special tools there are. Pay for it upfront and return for a full refund
@@RBoysMedia Thank you
Must be down south!!! Up north here I beat and beat and heat and heat more heat more beat 6 mthrfckn hrs 0 progress. Truck 1 Jon 0!!!!
I guess a guy could use a c clamp to unload them. How much did u level it? Guy told me today id need longer shocks or shock extensions
A chincy C clamp mite get you injured there’s some pressure on them
Don’t use a clamp for this. They got some pressure on them. I’ve even had this tool being used break on me
Do u jack the truck from de front 😁😁😁
Why didn’t you use you impact to install the new one ?
I thought I used for torsion key
Can I just use the impact to tighten all the way up the tool ?
You can but you want to make sure it's leveled evenly
@@CurtARoll thanks !
Didn’t this knock ur camber out of whack?
I can't recall but anytime you make adjustments to your suspension like this you definitely want to get an alignment done to prolong the life of your tires.
How’s the ride quality offer install?
it rides very good still surprisingly!
Unloading the torsion bar, seem to me this would be the way to go if I want to replace the ball joints. Makes it easier perhaps instead of placing a floor jacket under the a arm, safer I would guess, right? anybody know what I'm talking about here? need some comments, opinions.
definitely would be a lot less work if you unload the torque off the torsion bar.
I don't think that I could do this job with my self, because you know why? I am not strong enough.
That's not how you do it,he jacked that key way to high
If that’s all the tools you use 😂😂😂😂
