Re: Rekeying/ Indexing the Torsion Bar suspension

The only thing you could change in front would be the links or "pins". The front load arm itself has the hex hole to receive the bar. There is not enough range to relocate the load arm one hex off to give a different amount of twist. I am thinking what Packard called links has the same function of the piece you are calling keys since both affect the twist of the bar.

The rear is essentially the same configuration except with a stirrup instead of a link. Changing the length of the stirrup by making it longer would in effect be doing the same as changing the length of the pin and making that shorter. Either would result in slightly less twist so car would be lower.
