Update on new front X code springs,they raised truck 1-1/8",the ride seems to be as good or better than old V codes,it seems to not wander as bad on less than perfect roads,that could be due to the new spring bushings ?,time for alighnment it did changed steering wheel position.

It's much easier to remove the front bumper than it is to remove the bumper bracketry, and that link has it wrong in that area, so I usually don't link to that how-to without an advisory to ignore that section and to just remove the 4 bolts holding the bumper on. And actually, getting the front bumper part wrong in that how-to was part of the impetus years ago to create the how-to write-ups, hints, tricks, and advice I put together to help others.

I'll have the one for this forum up and running too. Just had some personal setbacks the past couple years and haven't had the motivation to dive in and tackle this slow coding process needed to overhaul the one for this forum.
