torsion bar keys

Post by rogco »

well i cant decide either to put a 6inch lift on or just new keys and run 37s . i think i want the torsion bars and 37s first to but just wondering what you guys run and do the 37 rub at all off road or towing , and i know it matter a bit with rims but if i stay with stock rims would it rub easy or when towing a heavy load and i dont have the air bag set up i have the coil springs .. thanks for any info

i run 37s on my 2003 h2 with keys and coil spacers.

i also have a 2" wheel spacers because they used to rub on the inside (sway bar)



no rub at all even at full articulation.

I put 37"x12.5" Pro Comps on the stock chromed rims and I get some rub on the sway bar when turning full left.  Off roading I noticed a little rub on the plastic inside the fender wells, but nothing major.  I love the look of the new tires!

thanks for the info , so if i go with aftermarket rims then it should move the tire away from rubbing on the sway bar then
