Default Torsion keys or cranking T bars?

So my ball joints are worn pretty bad and I wanna know what would be harder on the ball joints if I fix them. Would it be better to get new torsion keys or keep the t bars cranked?

Doesn't matter....... it's all the same. If you crank your torsion bars to where your truck is leveled or get aftermarket torsion keys and crank it to the exact same stance it will be no different. Now if you OVER crank your aftermarket keys which is what it will allow you to do, to get an extra inch or 2 in the front then YES it will put ALOT of stress on the frontend and wear everything out much faster than just having it leveled.
