Hmm ok I think I understand now and I'm going to reconsider how much I unbolted the torsion keys and look into moving the bump stops to gain a bit more travel. If unloading the torsion bars is the same as lowering keys it's just like you said changing the index of the torsion bars putting the usually stiffer ride in a different index then putting stiffer components won't change the saggy part of the suspension. It'll just be too hard on the new components 🤔 I might move the bump stops up 2 inches and turn the screws a bit tighter and see what happens 😂 damn truck already rides like brick so this might feel better and hopefully not like a water bed 😂

Ignore everything I just said haha I'm going to look into the suspension travel problem 😂

Ya good point. Lower balljoints and CV will be at extreme points if it flexed too much. 🤔 Back to the imagination board. I was hoping this wouldn't be to much different than the problems everyone runs into with the lift/level keys

Drop shackles
Installing drop shakles is actually very easy not hard at all i did it myself took about little over an hour or so. I have a 3" front and 8" rear drop on mine i did it all myself obviously with the help of another individual to get the rear axle dropped but its pretty easy not as hard as people think i put a 6" drop rear axle flip kit the 2" drop shakles put the 3" lowering rear shocks. In the front i put 3" lowering springs an 2" lowering shocks.
