Why do trucks with spacers sit more level with ones with keys?

Default Why do trucks with spacers sit more level with ones with keys?

So i drive a 2005 dodge ram 1500 laramie with torsion keys and relocation brackets for the shocks. iv noticed that other dodges that are able to use the coil spacer seem to sit more level than trucks with the keys. why is this? i know i have some room left to raise mine but i know its not good to have them cranked all the way.

Keys are available in varying heights just like coil spacers are. There are even some adjustable keys that allow you to go from 1.5" to 3" in half inch increments.

A truck with 2" coil spacers is gonna sit about the same height as one with 2" keys AND the stress on the CVs will be the same whether you have coils or a torsion bar at a given height...
