Need Help Finding Stock Torsion Keys for Chevy 2500HD

Questions and Support
1

I’m looking for some advice on sourcing stock torsion keys for my Chevy 2500HD.

Why I’m Searching for Stock Torsion Keys

I recently noticed that the ride height of my truck isn’t what it used to be. I want to restore it to its original specifications and ensure that the suspension is performing as intended. After doing a bit of research, it seems like the torsion keys play a crucial role in this, and I’d prefer to use OEM parts instead of aftermarket options.

What I’ve Already Tried

I’ve checked a few local auto parts stores, but they mostly seem to offer aftermarket solutions. I want to make sure I’m getting the right parts that match the factory setup.

Questions I Have

  • Where can I find genuine OEM stock torsion keys?
  • Are there any specific part numbers I should look for?
  • Is it common for these parts to wear out, or is this an unusual issue?
  • If anyone has experience with installing them, are there any tips or things to watch out for?

Additional Thoughts

I love my Chevy 2500HD and want to keep it running smoothly. Any recommendations or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I wonder if there’s a way to adjust the torsion keys for better lift while maintaining ride quality. Anyone tried it?

That’s a tricky balance! I adjusted mine a bit, but I felt it affected comfort. But hey, it looks great!

LOL, why not just put a marshmallow on the suspension for a smooth ride? They might not last long, but it would be a fun ride!

That’s a hilarious idea! But honestly, stock torsion keys do significantly improve the ride. Just not with marshmallows!

Make sure you don’t over-crank the torsion keys! I messed up once and ended up with a bumpy ride until I fixed it. It’s all about that balance.

Thanks for the heads up! I have a set of stock torsion keys ready but haven’t started yet. Would love any troubleshooting tips if things don’t go as planned.

Watch out for those rusty bolts! A PB Blaster soak a day before helps a lot. Let’s just say that I learned the hard way.
