what are TT's

[dbchamp]

Hey guys i feel kinda stupid to keep asking about all this stuff but i really wanna get it right when i try it. I know what shackles are but are TT's a brand of them or something for the front suspension i have a 94 xlt 4x4 thanx for any comments.

You should always try searching first, but TT refers to "Torsion Twist". It's when you tighten/loosen torsion bars to raise/lower a front suspension. Most torsion bars are good for about 2" lift before you risk hurting your CV joints. Check out your Chilton's to see how it works....real easy to do. Good luck

Do a search for torsion twist and it should point you in the right direction. I notice you have a 94 X as far as I know that year does not have torsion bars. I could be wrong about that, But like I said do a search on it. Try this:

Hope that helps

Check out the link I sent you in my first reply. It should be covered in there.

not that it matters since you have a 1st gen but if you really want to know about a TT look at the link in the 'sticky' section at the top of the 'shock, suspension, lift kit' forum you can't miss it it's called 'torsion bar 101.......'

since you have a 1st gen just look for a lift kit, there are loads out there....

Come one Jeff, it's 'Time Trials'


Oh yeah, a small lift for the front of a 1st gen= F150 coil spring seats. They raise the bottom of the coil spring 1-2 inches without affecting stock ride quaity. Very inexpensive.
