    I meant torsen, my phone put torrsion. And that does not work regular 5lugs and xrunners carry the same part numbers for the front springs yet the xrunner are a .5" lower.

    Part number is only going to be specific to the housing, not to the actual internal parts as those have there own number designations.

    You should reread what I wrote. #missedthatmessage. I wouldn be looking for certainty if it wasn for getting mixed information across multiple post from multiple users. Thanks for the link though
