DIY X-Springs?

[JIM_C]

Anybody done this? Is it a big enough PITA to justify letting the Ford House do it for the cost of parts and a few hours labor?
This will probably be my next mod so I'm getting the skinny on it before the weather gets hot.

Changing the front leaf springs isn't that big of a deal ... you just need a good jack and some heavy duty stands.. an easy saturday morning job.. I'm not sure about the 2003 but when I changed the front springs on my 2000 I had to take the front bumper off to access the front bolt.. If you have a buddy to help you you can do it easy..

When I swapped out my front springs, the front bolts were OMG!!! TIGHT!!!. Be ready to be able to apply some serious torque. Or go ahead and try it and if you cannot get the bolts loose take it in. It is not that difficult of a job if the bolts are not super tight.
