Springs

Newby just trying to find the answer and have been unable in searching..
I read on a previous post that the door vin decribes the front spring code. My first 5 is 3FTX W...???? Is this enough info to find out my spring code and if so is it the 4th digit. X springs. My 01 has the droop and since a new set of tires (70k original) is in the works I was thinking about giving her a slight lift. Thanks in advance, Val

Maybe I've had 1 to many but when I looked at my post it didn't mention tires prior to 70k, but when I go to edit I see the post is correct. Sorry for the double post. I'll check myself into rehab tomorrow or have my vision checked...

The X denotes 8600 GVWR. I would install a leveling kit I did and love the way it rides and handles.

RealHP... Thanks. What kit did you go for if you don't mind me asking and where did you get it? Thanks, Val
