AIR BAGS AND TORSION KEYS

Post by rvthereyet »

Im thinking about adding air bags in the rear and different torsion keys in the front. Will I have a problem hooking up or unhooking. I am using a superglide hitch. The keys should give me about a 2 inch lift in the front. Currently I'm running 265/65R17 bf goodrich.

Sounds like you need two trucks. A toy truck (to play with) and one to do real work, like towing a 5th wheel. Chris

Don't know about torsion keys, but the airbags will give you no problem as you can hook up with the air dumped and pump the airbags us after you hook up. Would sugget an onboard compressor. Have used the airbags to adjust 5W height a bit, especially when the jacks didn't work.

Hi Mike, I think it has to do with torsion bar adjustments.

Super Duties don't use torsion bars.
