his truck is also a 2wd reg cab with a 3.0

#1's would be way to stiff, go with b-bars or c-bars.

 

^^wow....i totally forgot about that. lol.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking... do you have the part # for those or can i just go to the dealer and tell them i want the B bars for my truck?

 

The bar size is computer selected on the assembly line based on equipment. I think you have to supply the VIN of a B bar equipped truck to order the B bars - that's what we ran into trying to get a part numbers for the #1 bars. Apparently, the parts system does not list them in a way that relates the part number directly to the code.

If anyone does get the part numbers for the B bars and/or F's, please post them so we can get that info in the knowledge base.

 

Well i went and check mine out i came up with this

I tried taking a picture but it was to blurry
VIN: 1FTZR15E91TA84102
Spr. 1R31B
1K
So if i'm right that gives me the number 1 bars right?

 

1K means #1 bars and K leaf springs.

 

Billy Bob aka Gator, want me to give you my VIN? I had B bars.

 

yeah... you can pm it if you don't want it all over the internet

 

Can you get more lift with #1 bars? i have B-bars that are fully cranked on my 08, and i only got an inch or so lift out of them..

 

^^supposedly...but i'd say no. #1's sag alot less(I havn't noticed any sag, but mine are brand new) than the B bars do. My B bars were maxxed out w/ 85k on it.

I believe #1 bars would resist sag, thus keeping the "lift" you set it at. Might be possible to allowing you to lift it up higher too, but at the expense of your ball joints.

 

2001 XLT 4x4 4.0L Supercab.

SPR/SR: BK ("B" front torsion bars)("K" rear leafs)

VIN: 1FTZR15E51PA99088




Gator: When you get part numbers for the "B" bars, can you please post them?

 

Yes you can. I did it, but go look at my post on the previous page and you'll see why I wouldn't recommend doing it.

 

I didn't get anymore lift but it has not sagged any like the b bars did.

 

You got a 500 LB bumper on the front of that dude though lol.

 

hey it's not 500 lbs more like 200 lbs including the skid plate

 

still.....more than twice the weight of stock....duh. lol.

 

I'm just letting people know my experiences. So there are minor details I forgot to mention.

 

so a 11KK is good?

 

So I guess if i'm gonna build a winch bumper should I go with B's or 1's ?

 

Red....yes! I have that setup and love it!


DSFD....You probably have B's right now. Being a 4.0 4x4.

 

Unfortunately I don't have B's. I got stuck with F's. How that happened I will never know. Ford did screw me out of my 4.10's when I had it ordered though.

 

I will let the pics do the talking

B bars


1 Bars

 

Yeaaa......get #1's.
