New Four Wheeler rag page 31 .. saying what most of us know first hand and was not told when we purchased or created of first lifts.

Bottom line.... Overtime you will have poblems.

Funny they say that after they just put the Ranch UCA/Torsion Crank lift on the 4Wheeler Xterra...

whatever

2002 Xterra 4x4 still stock

I've started hearing some wierd noises out of mine lately, but it has been run cranked up for nearly all of it's life. Guess it it finally time for the SAS!!!

95', 3" body, 33x12.5's, dual exhaust, bucket seats, stereo, scratches and dents!!

I wrote the guys at www.ok4wd.com and they said it was about 11k to do the swap with coil-over suspension.... I think I can wait a little longer....

Mine has been cranked for 45k out of the last 145k miles. The torsion bars have only recently gone out. They keep sagging and wont hold the ride height at all.

With the cranked T bars, I had to replace all 4 balljoints.. but I think that was more a function of the mileage more than anything. Cranked T bars will tend to kill centerlinks more than anything else, since the tie rods tend to push it upwards under power.

Overall, its well worth it if you need the clearance for offroading.

John, If you are not willing to spring for new Tbars right now, as a temporary solution, I will trade you my factory ones(which are still in decent shape) for yours, so I would still have spares. Just a thought.

Thats an idea.. I think im just gonna cough up the $$ for the SAW bars though. Just noticed that the price has gone up a little. They are now $190 a set.

Dang, they have gone up. To me it would be worth spending the money just to not have to change them out more than once. I hate those damn things.

It is just as easy as reindexing. Only takes about an hour to do.

are they the same torsion bars as on my frontier?? I thought about buying the 3" suspension lift from AC and can sell the aftermarket bars.... As new as my truck is, I certainingly dont need them.



that little voice in your head saying "YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!!!!!!!"

I doubt they are the same, I know the ones on the Pathy and Hardbody are different lengths

11k for an axle swap?!? lol.
My fuggin' Calmini Tbars wont hold the lift for sh*^. I have cranked them over and over again. Now they need reindexing again. Kind of a pain, but worth it I guess.
Makes ya wonder though..

I have had no problems with the Sway Aways, They have not even sagged as I expected them to either. I like them much better.

Anything has got to be better than 145k mile stock torsion bars that have been wheeled hard. No matter how far I crank the driver's side bar, it always sags.. until I lift the truck up with a jack, then I have to back it off and it starts all over again!

haha
