Default What's UP with keys

What's the real story on t-bar keys, do they wear front end parts faster or are they a safe lift? I've read it both ways on the forum. I would like a straight answer from guys using them for more than a short time on any issues problems and effect on ride. Also did you crank them after you installed them or leave the adjustment bolts in the same location. I'm only looking for aftermarket installed keys here not factory, the ones that are supposed to re-index the factory bars. Thanks in advance for any personally exsperienced info.

Stay away from aftermarket keys man, the worst thing you could do is waste money on those. You will be chewing threw cvs, ball joints, as often as you change your oil. They put put all the suspension components at really bad angles and will kill them. Tons of people have there stock keys cranked and are ok. I have my stock keys cranked but not maxed. My ride quality is still great and I know anything isn't Going to break. If I was you I would either save you money for a suspension lift or body lift or just crank your stock ones.
