It's a little heavier than Ford's V Code so it's more like a V+ equivalent (about 400lbs more capacity per side). I like having it a little stiffer but definitely didn't want to go as stiff as an X Code and risk premature renal failure.

Ease up on your sarcasm, it isn't how we like FTE to flow.

Correct information isn't ridiculous. But I do see a pattern of posting from you that needs adjusting if you want to have longevity here at FTE.

FTE is a pretty helpful place. Keep that in mind when YOU want help on an issue.
FTE is a self-policing forum most times, and gentle chides for new users isn't given in a mean-spirited manner. Please understand we're establishing lines of acceptable behavior so you understand how to comport yourself in threads.

Basically, that means posts like this one below....

You didn't make one single, minute contribution to this post except to bash a person who did give useful information. So keep your speeches for your shallow library of condescending comebacks.
Is it your habit to troll posts to force your point of nonsensical gibberish on people actually trying to give useful information, or are you so lonely in your little world you need a conversation to validate your existence?
Whichever it is I'd appreciate you not lecturing me on the aspects of what's helpful in a forum.
When you tell people to grow up that tells me you need to point the finger your direction too.
...really shows you don't understand the guys are trying to help, period.

Take a deep breath, MAX, and maybe re-read the posts that got your hackles up, in a different voice. Maybe try to see it as it was meant and look at it as guys trying to help, versus as a "snide" or "tolling" manner.

Junior at ATS has been an excellent Supporting Vendor for FTE and has helped many, many Excursion members over the years, plus a ton of other users in other forums here at FTE too.

Truth is truth.

I see a pattern of trolling new guys who aren't P.C. but then again. I'm not from California.

I see you define "help" differently than I.

I pointed out a fact. The spring are made in Mexico. I got trolled by a person with a sarcastic remark. " That's helpful" it all started from there. Talk to him, not me.

Fine. I'm happy for ATS. I've not purchased from them but if you guy's do that's wonderful. I get better discounts elsewhere.
