Click here to see it in action on Google Video! Is spring dislocation worthwhile? After all, at the point your springs dislocate, there is barely any weight pushing down on that wheel. How much traction is it actually going to give you?
You could just fit VERY long springs. By their very nature however, these will either give you an enormous suspension lift, making your truck unstable or they will be very soft and allow it to hit the bump stops every time you drive over a pot-hole.
Now at X-Eng, we have developed the answer! We have developed the X-Spring - a telescopic spring combined with a spring locator. You get an extra 10" of sprung travel. At the point your existing springs would dislocate, the inner spring is still pushing down with 700Lbs of force. Unless the axle is articulating, the inner spring is completly enclosed in the dislocation cone. On the road, you are only using your original springs. These can be standard height, stiff springs to give you good road handling. Protect your investment in your existing springs and shocks - no need to replace. A fraction of the cost of certain other 'colourful' dislocation systems. Give the same amount of travel as a 27" single spring but with the handling of a standard spring. Fully compatible with Front and Rear springs. If you do manage to run out of travel with these fitted, the locators will freely expand giving an additional 5" of travel. That is equivalent to a 27" spring plus 5" dislocation or 32" of travel. To use all of this, you would need +23" Shock Absorbers!
Many off-road springs have a reputation for sagging. Our inner springs are made for us by a company with a world class reputation in race & rally. They are made from top quality spring steel (not re-cycled deck chairs!) and even though they spend most of their life fully compressed, they will not sag - we guarantee it!
Our springs have been thouroughly tested on and off road over a 12 month period and have given amazing performance. We have traversed cross-axles which would normally require front and rear diff-locks with only the centre diff locked. Although, at first glance, you might think X-Springs will make your vehicle less stable on side slopes or when cornering hard - we have found it makes almost no difference. The reason for this is that when you are normally articulating, the vehicle rolls around the middle of the axle so either spring is only lifting half the weight on that axle. At the point the X-Spring comes in to play, the main spring on one side will be almost fully compressed so the body rolls around the compressed spring. The X-Spring is therefore lifting the equivalent of about 300% more weight for a given amount of roll. This, combined with the X-Spring being much weaker than the main spring means that it will only have any effect when your spring would have dislocated anyway and even then the additional body roll is neglegable.

*Will these fit my 110 Rear?*
The short answer is No! 110 rear springs are larger diameter than 110 front, 90 or Disco front or rear and the X-Spring Adaptor, though it will fit, is too loose to work properly. We do intend to make a 110 version in the future, but not quite yet.
