keys dont do shit on an OBS, the originals are indexed enough to get all the lift possible.

blocks in the rear arent' the problem. the problem is that when you try to lift your torsion bars up 3 inches, you're going to strain your whole front end. your CV angles will be maxxed out so they could snap, along with horrible angles for the pitman arm, idler arm, tie rod ends, etc.

also you're not going to be able to crank to level 3 inches on an OBS. Trust me.

Just do the 3 inch body lift and if it's not enough for you, then throw in a 1 inch block and crank the bars up a small bit.

what he said. no way you're gonna get 3 inches by doing a torsion crank...and if you did it would surely break something and the ride would suck. just do the body lift.
