XTF Stage 1 so many questions!!
First I really appreciate Dave and the team releasing a stripped down XTF with the stage 1 kit (just got the e-mail). However so many questions I have (Yoda moment)
- With the front suspension what is being added/replaced. Only mentions the A arms and tier rod ends. Is there new brakes? Is it a new drop knuckle like a lot of the lift kits use? Is the front subframe being changed or replaced? Any spacers being used on the top of the strut?
- With the new kit is Factory Five eliminating the crash bars that are in the fender well? Is there something being put in its place?
- In the rear it just mentions a long travel leaf sping. Is it using extended shackels to do this? or truely a longer more bent leaf spring?
- If I were to step up to the full XTF kit at a later date does any of these stage 1 components carry over in the suspension once the new chassis is installed? I know it says the body panels are the same as the main XTF.
- The truck in the gallery has upgraded bumpers are those included?
Just some of my initial questions. Hoping someone in the know chimes in (or others pile on thier questions).
But quite excited for this one as it is much more economical project to take on given the size of these trucks and the limited workspace I am working with. The MK4 was rough enough in my 2 car garage.
