Torsion Bolt

Where is the torsion bar bolt on an 03 XLT. I can't find it anywhere. All I am wanting to do is crank a little so I can fit 31s.

Your 4x2 doesn't have torsion bars, unless it is an Edge with 4x4 suspension. You have coil springs up front. Good news is, you can usually buy 1-2" spring spacers for pretty cheap, or get a 3" spindle lift. But just you so know, a lot of people here say that they fit 31's on their 4x2 stock... Do some searching

I have heard 31s will rub a little stock so I was trying to stop that. Spring spacers are those just little spacers taht I see at autoparts stores?

Here's a little bit of info. They'll require an alignment after installation, possibly camber bushing or something. I'd call them and ask what else is needed.

I would think so. You could also install a 3" body lift if you want. But they usually run 200 with everything needed, plus lots of install time. Go to a tire shop or something and see what they reccommend doing, and how much it will cost.
