    Fyi On Right/left Leaf Spring Swap!

    Like everyone else my X sages on the drivers side rear, so I swapped the springs out to the oppisite sides and the drivers side is still lower than the right side. I'm thinking it's more a design flaw than a sagging problem do to the fuel tank and driver's weight being on the left!

    Damaged platinum plugs?

    The instructions say to check the gap with a wire type gage and to be very careful adjusting the gap. I've also heard that you should never clean a platinum plug, is that true? I have never had to use platinums before, can they be damage that easy?

    Spring Codes Question HELP!

    That great help guys! Let me ask one other thing. If I use the "F" spring and I don't get any lift (looking for about 1 1/2 ") and add warrior shackles (which I have already purchased) will the ride be to stiff? I also would be concerned using the "H" spring with shackles because I see some X's...

    Spring Codes Question HELP!

    I have A 2WD Sport and I have found two sets of 4D leaf packs at my local salvage yard but they said one is a "F" code and the other is a "H" code. Can anyone tell me which one would be best, and what the differents are? Also is there a right and left spring? And do the metal spring packs sage...

    Solved Torsion Bar 101, Everything you Need to look for!

    OK I tried to lower the right front. It had no effect on the rear at all and I now noticed the truck wants to pull to the right. I think I'll put it back where it was until I get the rear springs. P.S. Are the rear springs interchangable from side to side? And do steel springs sage as bad as the...

    Solved Torsion Bar 101, Everything you Need to look for!

    Yes your right it is the left side that is low. I didn't know if adjusting the torsion bars may of had a teetering effect corner to corner on the back or not. What can I expect to pay for a set of 4D springs? And are the left and right spring interchangable to offset the sagging on the drivers side?

    Solved Torsion Bar 101, Everything you Need to look for!

    Does adjusting the torsion bars to level the front end have any effect on the rear at all? My torsion adjustment bolts are adjusted to different lenghts from one side to the other to level it out and I have noticed that there is 3/4 of an inch differance in the height in the rear from one side...

    warrior shackles

    Thanks guys! What year models of 4 door leafs will fit my 2000 Sport? How will the steel leafs affect the ride and how do you know if the springs you get from a salvage yard are any good? Are there that many wrecked 4D X's out there? I just bought this truck and like it a lot, but I just heard...

    warrior shackles

    I just installed A set of Warrior 153 shackles on my Sport. Not real happy! I got about one inch lift but I lost most of the arch in the mono spring and the ride is much stiffer. I'm worried what the springs are going to do when I put some weight on the back by pulling a trailer! I wonder if I'm...

    How to: Warrior Shackle Installation (pics)

    About how high will WAR153 lift the rear? They say 1 1/4 but when you go to order them they say 1/2 to 2 inches. Do you guys think 2 inches is to high?

    I would like to lift the rear of my 2000 X about 1 1/2 inches without making it ride any stiffer. With the axle over the single leaf are my options limited? Thanks for your help guys!
