Keys

[Smasal]

So from what I can tell, after hours of reading, ford keys will only allow me to crank past the stock crank point. So if thats the case, why wouldnt i crank the stock keys and see how i like it before replacing stocks. Make sense? And aftermarket keys it dont relieve any stress on my cv's.

No one knows I guess

Stock keys will only lift you about 1-1.5 inches where aftermarket or ford keys are indexed differently will lift you 2-3".

 

[Smasal]

And of course those extra inches is where you lose your ride?

And of course those extra inches is where you lose your ride?

you mean where it starts to ride rough? I would say yes cause the preload on the torsion bar is more.

I'm cranking stocks tomorrow. We will find out soon.

Got em cranked. Only achieved an inch. I'm still 38" in the rear and 36.25 in both front wells.



Here where my cv's are. I think.

 

[Smasal]

Can I buy longer shocks and avoid shock extensions?

 

[gmcjohn]

Don't see why you couldn't. I think the extenders are a cheaper option.

Dont crank more than 2inches bad idea and will wrar everthing badly. And yea you can get longer shocks but id just *** extenders. They do the job for alot less

I've been cranked an inch now for couple weeks. It rides okay. I can certainly handle it. I can crank em more but don't wanna push it. Just can't get over the fact that I could be "causing" wear. And again keys only allow you to crank past, 2 inches right? They don't alleviate any strain, essentially they allow you to cause more?
