if i could thread jack my own build for just a second and say, i went to a mixed geeky themed Con once and there were furries and i was slightly disturbed...
I have been to quite a few Geek Cons and I didn't see a lot of that. But I am actually looking to build a geek themed X. Apologies for the hijack as well...GM

I clapped, because I have the same crack in the same spot. Mine should be fixed in a week or two, hope yours is too

welp, thank goodness its raining like a mother trucker outside so i didnt have work today. this morning i dropped the X off at the shop in town that im on good terms with, they build race cars and such. pretty much after hegets the new leafs (only replacing the broken one and the one on the other side so its level) he will throw on my AAL. and if he thinks it wouldnt take him too long, i told him to lift the front as well. he has all the directions he needs from me to do it, like re-indexing the torsion bars so that the UCA is at so and so space from the new bump stops, yada yada. he will call me if he has any questions.

i really wanted to do the lift myself but since i wont have time to do it until next month and i dont want to risk driving on that broken spring anymore than i already have. id rather have them do it seeing that everything has only a day of PB blaster on it, i dont need to break any bolts.

Thank you sir, and I wish good luck to you as well lol. It'll be my first time taking apart a leaf pack and putting it back together, but from reading up on what I could find, I'll need new U-bolts and I figured I'd get new center pins as well. I'll also put a dab of grease in between the leaves on the ends to ensure smooth movement.

leafs are the easier of the suspension parts to take apart if even thing has been PB blasted for awhile, unlike mine. hence why its at the shop.

BOOM! leaf srping is fixed and the rest of the lift is on! they replaced both sides, broken and and the one on the other side with beefer springs so i wont have as mush sag from the AAL over time and added cargo capasitey. gotta love being tight with a coustom shop :). and it was a hell of a deal on the price too!

also after taking off those ORIGINAL front shocks that were pretty much toast and sticking the new Bilstiens on, oh man it rides good.
but enough of me, time for pics!


aaaaand done!
