LOWERING ... an 01 X sport

[SiLenZe]

loosen the bolts to lower the truck. the bolts were really hard to turn, i did about an inch a day becuase i got too tired!

yeah, im going to be using a breaker bar to get 'er done. I was reading your site and it said you removed your torsion bolts....did you actually remove them!? This seems like a bad idea....

The bolts are only there for adjustment. They do not hold anything together. You can remove them without any problems. You usually get about 2.5" if you do that.

can i engage the 4wd with it this low (i rarely ever use it off road, nor use it when it's bad conditions). So would i be safer just not even using it? or will there be any difference?

I was able to use mine a few times a year without any problems.

cool.... looks like i have almost everything i need to know

thanks for all the help, this forum is great!

next question: what size socket goes on the bolts?

 

[Hartman]

It's 13MM I believe. That's the last easy question we will answer. Get out there and get your hands dirty.
