Front springs

Just a question here..........I know that you can buy 2 and 3 inch drop springs for my 2001 but is there a spring that you can use that is stock from another ford or whatever that can give you 2 inches. Thought about that today and couldnt come up with anything. Thanks for the help !

Sweet.

Where is this torsion bar you speak of?

Low-Life1972 · May 20, 2009

The bar with the boot on it is what i was told by the mech. ??? But thought that was what was used for the power steering to turn the wheels but i am no genuis by no means ! lol

BlackBII · May 20, 2009

Yeah, that is part of your steering system.

Your mechanic shouldn't be allowed to operate anything more complicated than a ham sandwich.

If you has torsion bars, they would look lika this:

Thanks for the help ! Now with the 3' drop coil springs i found will i have a prob. keeping the alinment or will it go out often ?

Casper98 · May 20, 2009

yes you will have alignment issues with 3" drop springs, just save up and get the 4/5 kit!
