No keys needed to crank bars. Under your truck, follow the bar that goes from front suspension to about the middle of the front door on the truck. You will see the keys, the bolt under the keys that face down to the ground are what you need to crank. Make sure you lift the front of your truck off the ground. Tightening these bolts push your suspension down forcing your truck to go up. If you dont lift your truck off the ground, the weight of the truck could snap the bolt in half. I hope that was clear enuogh for you.
Thanks, i cranked um 5 1/2 turns, and it looks a lot better, its still a little low, but im afraid to go further
a lot of the guys on here say they have squeezed 35's with just the torsion cranked. Me personally, I wouldnt do it. If they fit, you may have a bit of rubbing, but if you like to take your truck off road, your gonna rub everywhere. Just depends what youre using your truck for.
And yeah, i would definitely get an alignment.
For instance, i got of Nitto Mud Grapplers about 4 months prior to a buddy getting the exact same set. One year has gone by,and all 4 of my tires have a ton of meat on them, his front tires are basically racing slicks. He never got an alignment after leveling his truck.
