Ok Blue - let me see if I understand this.  The torsion keys are attached to the torsion bar, and the keys can be used to raise/lower the front end?  Or are these on both front and rear?

Yes. You can lower or raise the front end only.   Setbacks are:

If you go lower, then the ride becomes bumpy.
If you go higher,then the ride becomes stiffer.

There are mixed reviews amongst members as they all have different setups on wheel and tire package.

Now,if you use the ford keys to level out the AV,i would think you should be fine as the ford keys are made to level the f150.

Biker -

Surfing some old posts trying to find out what wheels i want for my AV...  What backspacing do you have one those Moto's?  Can you provide some close-up shots of the hoops / fitment?  I have on 03 Non-clad with 285-70-17 BFG AT's that needs some new hoops...

Thanks!

I don't know what the spacers measure. Everything came from Moto Metal as a package...including the wheel locks.
