Question after installing aftermarket torsion keys - is this normal?

i finally got around to putting on some aftermarket torsion keys on my truck, and i right now its sitting about 2 inches higher in the front. the thing that is bothering me is when i look at the bolt that you turn to twist the torsion bar more or less, it isnt straight up at all its at more of an angle. is that how its supposed to be, or have i turned them more than i should have? like i said, right now its about 2 inches higher in the front than the back.

I recently put a set of aftermarket keys on myself. If you are talking about your adjustment bolt having an angle to it I, would take your torsion key tool and try to realign the bolt. I had the same problem with the driver side of my truck. As for how high you have the front end lifted, I would make sure that you aren't putting too much stress on you cv joints as I was and I chose to crank mine back down to keep from destroying my cv's and shafts. I am going to go with a rough country 4-5" kit once I save up enough money.
