Replaced lower and upper control arm shock wheel hub and sway bar link on right front. Finished it was to low about 3 inches lower than left side. Jacked it back up torsion bar and key wont line up and when we get it to line up it's too loose. Need help in figuring this out. It's my only driver and been down 4 weeks. Thanks

I am not sure I understand what you mean by the torsion bar and key won't line up. The torsion bar is what sets the ride height so if it is too low then you don't have the adjustment bolt set correctly.

I attached the process below from the manual. Let me know if you can get some pictures of this and that may help get us on the same page. Thanks
