Default 2010 ranger pre key? or aftermarket?

OK so I got a 2010 ranger and I have the torsion bar adjustment almost maxed out on both sides, and an alignment. It used to sit lower in the front than 2007 and earlier rangers but now it sits level. I would like to do the pre key mod, but my thinking is, since I gotta pay for keys or possibly go to the junkyard and buy a tool to do it, and go through the effort to replace the keys why not get aftermarket forged keys?

The issue with aftermarket keys is that they allow you to go way beyond what your suspension is designed for. If you set them properly, they are no more harmful than cranked stock keys (98-07). Problem is, nobody ever stops while they are ahead.

I have a set of '07 keys if you're interested.
