I need an accurate size on the torsion bar bolt on a 96 X. I have to replace the driver side bolt with a longer one before doing a lift. I have found somewhere on this forumn that the bolt is a M12X1.75X90mm hex head bolt. Is this True? Thank you

Anyone here who can save me time, thank. I am going to remove and cut my rotors soon, so any info is appreciated. Do i need any tools to remove the rotors? or do they simply slide off after removing the calipers? How about removing the wheel bearings, do i need a special socket? the X is a...

i gotta tell you guys- this kit is impressive. just installed it in my 4.0 X.....i thought the changes would be small at best. Now the truck is really responsive and i acn definetly feel more torque. I had a drop- in K&N before.....the difference is still dramatic.
