Make sure you have the weight off of it when you are adjusting the torsion bar key..... Doing it with weight on it, tends to break stuff.

May need to re-index the key.

If you have it adjusted all the way, and it still sits low, jack up the front, back the adjuster all the way out, slide the torsion bar out of the key, rotate the key up until you can slide the bar back into it, then readjust ride height.
