HELP! 3” lift, torsion keys and alignment!
just installed a supreme suspensions 3” suspension lift. After installing, all measurements were somehow spot on and level all the way around. Installed Rancho 7371 shocks and now my levels are off by 3/8” in the front(I need to bring front end up to match rear.) I already had an alignment done(twice on the past month. I replaced ball joint, tie rods and sway bar end links). Will cranking the torsion keys up 3/8”(3 full turns of torsion key adjustment bolts) throw my front end off that bad? Trying to avoid getting another alognment( I know the guys at the shop are tired of seeing me there, haha). Below are my alignment results:
Caster:
Left - 2.0 degreees
Right - 2.8
Camber:
Left - 0.2
Right - 0.7
Toe:
Left - 0.05
Right: 0.05
Total - 0.10
Rear
Camber:
Left -0.6
Right -0.7
Toe:
Left -0.10
Right -0.10
Sorry I’m not alignment savvy. Any advice suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Sounds good. Thanks for the fast reply! Would you suggest I unbolt the nut on the top of the shock before cranking them as not to allow the bushings to collapse or would I just be doing extra work? Going in for a free alignment tomorrow(still under warranty).

Are you saying the front end came down after installing the shocks? That would mean that you are now riding with the shocks fully extended!!
if you are saying that the system settled and you noticed it when you were doing the shocks, then you can put it back up to where it was.
I always recommend an alignment when adjusting torsion keys at all...it will save your tires.
