PM me. Since I'm doing this SAS, I have no use for them. I'll take $40 shipped.

A lift key is a re indexed torsion bar key. It holds the torsion bar at a certain tension/ hight. You can crank up stock keys to get an inch or so. To get more you need a lift key. Here is a how to on tighten them up. Notice the ANCHOR in the picture. That is the torsion bar key. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1979009-post2.html

Lets put it this way... you'll smash the bump stops against the frame long before you run out of bolt to turn.

I honestly don't remember. I thought you just wanted the crossmember. If I did tell you that sorry, I forgot, but they're gone now

I can still get you the crossmember if you want it. I can cut it out and pack it up to ship out next week.

I have a set of keys on my first gen that I have been meaning to take off. I brought it back down to stock so I don't need them anymore, just haven't been motivated to go out there and take them off. If someone wants them I can get out there this week I think and take them off.
