My tag says mine is FFCC. What kind do I have?


ryan

 

F front bars(the weakest i believe.)

C rear leafs.

 

haha thanks
That sucks the weakest but i guess i can see why its a 3.0, 2wd and single cab.

^^yep!

 

what about 11kk?

 

Thats what i have. You have #1 bars and not sure about the springs. i think they are the stiff leafsprings cause I have the towing package. Im running new leafs anyway though.

 

see thats unusual because i dont have the tow package and my truck is a regular on road 4x4 not off road

 

wait u put new springs in your truck and its a 08? why so soon

 

he might not of had the stiffer bars to start with.. mine are 11 kk , duno?

 

My 06 FX4 says "11KK"

I'm not all that knowledgable about the suspension specs. But this FX4 rides stiffer than all the XLT 4x4s I test drove. I would assume this means I have the stiffest springs available?

Yes sir. #1 bars.

 

I thought the C rear springs were stiffest??? My buddies FX4 Level II has C rear springs and he also has the towing package.

 

C rears are the stiffest i've seen on a ranger. Almost always coupled with the 'heavy duty towing pkg'.


I'm not sure about this....but the logic on ford spring rates: 1-2 a-z. lower the number = stiffer the spring. followed by letters. Kinda like this....1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f g h i j k.....something like that. Not exactly sure...but torsion bars are as follows: ordered from stiffest to softest: 1 B F.

Am I getting my point across? That's a lot of babble i wrote above. lol.

 

Mine says 1C so i am assuming i have number 1's and how hard is cranking these torsion bars.. as in what must i do to do this?

 

mine says... FFKK... I knew my truck was sagging a lil bit more... guess it will have to be a lowered truck...

 

Yes...believe all Fx4 L2's got #1 bars and C leafs.

super easy. take a 1/2 drive ratchet and a 13mm socket, follow the bars back to the brackets on the frame. Under the brackets, you'll see the bolts....righty tighty = taller balla. lefty loosy = lowered poosy. lol.

 

Why thank you for the pictures now i know what the heck i am looking for hehe.. how far can you crank them on an fx4 and stay okay?

 

Under SPR, mine says BC. what does that mean? and will it be fine to crank them and put a set of 33's on ?

 

diggin up an old thread here but i was just looking and i have the softest torsion bars there are. any benefits if i upgrade?

 

Only that yours will eventually start to sag over time. Only advantage is that the stiffer ones won't say as easily.
