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
