Beatup96

Thanks for the info captandy . Funny thing , I've got the same boat seat . But the back of my truck hasn't looked that clean since about 2001....

Looks good either way , but I like it a bit better with the flares . Questions on your lift as it's just the height I'm looking to attain . This the "normal" AC kit with their new front spacers and no rear spacers , giving it the level front to back look ? Did you use the camber adjustment kit and was there any problem with camber adjustment using the front spacers ? How is the on road handling compared to stock ?

I'm in the ordering stage for my rebuild , and I've been wondering about that kit . Does each kit consist of two bolts for each side , or one bolt ? Will ordering two kits get me two bolts for each side ?

I'll be starting to order parts for my 1996 XE in about a week , probably be asking a bunch of questions.... First question is on spacers . I'm going to skip a sub frame drop for now and go with an A/C 2" lift and 1" spacers . I'm looking for a balanced height front to rear , not the original "raked" look To get this am I looking at using just strut spacers ? If I also use coil spacers in the rear will the rear be higher than the front ? My '96 XE has the factory spare tire carrier and I'll be mounting a 31" spare , added to that I usually have at least 100lbs of stuff in the rear .

I had a broken strut mount that made sounds like that .

It's a 3.3 . The door sticker says it was built in June of 1996 if that helps any .

Or parts numbers from other vendors ? I can't seem to find any that say they'll fit a 1996 .

Can anyone give me parts numbers for these from Rockauto for a 1996 XE ? I want to buy a complete set and I'll be darned if I can't find them in their catalogue .
