defan Junior Member Registered: 02/02/12 Posts: 3 Loc: Moscow, Russia	Hi there Guys, has anyone here used Michigan Truck Springs leaf springs for '02 Xterra (WD22)? Recently I broke one leaf on my X driver's side, so now I'm looking for the replacement. It worth to say that my X lives in Russia, and there are not so many US online stores which are ready to ship such heavy pieces overseas (those guys mentioned above do). I'm a bit more inclined to buy an original, but if there were some success stories with any of non-original - I'd be glad to hear about it. Hope for you help Andrei.

Would you consider going for a whole new set meant for a lift? _________________________ - TJ 2001 Xterra '03 VG33, SE 5 spd, 305/70/16's, Revolvers, UBSkidderz, Doubled AAL's, 3"SL/2"BL, winch/bumpers, skids, sliders, OBA, Snorkel, pine stripes....

Actually my X is already slightly lifted (for about 2.5") by previous owner. He installed longer spring shakles to the rear, heavy duty torsion bars to the front, and a set of Bilstein shocks. I'm quite happy with that, so I just need new original-sized leaf springs.
