shackles

Check out car-parts.com Search for Code F leaf springs and pick a location nearest to you. $35 a side is a good price. That's the best thing to do is get them off a wrecked X.

will the 4 door leaf spring pack actually give me more height on my sport compared to the stock mono leaf?

 

[Alec]

As long as the 4door pack isn't sagged much.

Won't they ride a little less harsh also?

 

[Alec]

If anything they'll be a little stiffer, so no.

Usually they give you about 1/2", 1" if your stock sport springs were bad.

I wish I would have seen this thread a little sooner. I had pretty much the same issue with my shackle swap. I had one bolt where the nut came off fine but the bolt was rusted into the bushing. I tried everything. the way it finally came out was me on one side with an impact wrench while my buddy was cranking it with a mini sledge from the other side. It broke free from the bushing therefore I did not need to replace the bushing. Maybe this will help someone down the road.
That was the first bolt we tried so we figured it was going to be a long night. But to our surprise the rest of the bolts came out like butter.
