Default Keys...again!

I know a lot about torsion keys and how bad they are. But the only thing I don't know is, my torsion bars are almost maxed. If I bought keys and didn't crank them. Would I sit the same height? I want a smoother ride(I know. I'm on 35" Mud Grapplers). Would I be alright since my torsion bars are almost maxed out now?

No. You will be applying the same if not mor load on th torsion bars to equal the same hieght. I would up grade to 7700 GVWR torsion bars which will allow to each the same height with less preload..
