I understand the "two part adjustable" keys, but for solid one part keys, why not?

Summit sells ones for us that have 2" lift without touching the bars (like older ranger keys), isn't that better against eventual sagging?

Far too many variables to determine that. EX:How much you crank them, tire size, wheel weight, abuse (offroading etc.).

i rubbed the frame with mine maxed out and stock backspacing but that was at full lock and flexing out. if your going to do it it is going to wear parts faster may as well just max them out its like a .5in difference

yea. but could i possibly get stronger bars and balljoints made for sharper angles

stronger tbars? i had the best bars that came on a ranger on mine and they sagged pretty fast but that may have had something to do with jumping it a little bit....

I have had both and prensently i am running the superlift key lift installed from the dealer.This will not void the warranty but cranking them would.I perfer the key over cranking,i dont see any of the side effects yet where as my friend has his cranked and it rides poorly and he keeps wearing front end parts.But then again maybe i am just lucky i dunno.

i have keys in my garage it is the same as cranking the tbars and it does void the warranty. the dealership just cant see they are cranked since the bolts not all the way in. you havent broken things cause you have a 2010 whats it got 30k on it?

15k but its warrantied since they installed it i guess.I am playing with the idea of going bigger,the first time something lets go due to the keys they will come out and i larger lift will go in.I really do believe i am too much of a perfectionist to be happy with a BL and like i said i have cranked the tbars and could'nt stand the ride.
