it looks like they want $500. That is about the same price for a brand new set made just for your X. Dont know if it is worth it. I would just call Alcan and talk w/ Charlie....and then have them make you a set if that is the set price. They go for about $250 per leaf pack

Jason is right, they are about $500 for a new set + about $100 shipping. However we can always make offers. Let me know if you want me to take a stab at it.

They are brand new. Here is the story, Alcan built me a set of springs for my 2007 Xterra. The measurements for the first gen are: 28" fro eye to pin and 28" from pin to eye, the Second gen are: 28" eye to pin and 25 pin to eye. Basically it was something that was overlooked and i didn't notice until they were mounted. I called alcan and they admitted they made a mistake and quickly made new ones and sent them out. I told them I would try to find someone to buy them local, otherwise they will pay for shipping back to them.

So, yes, they are like a month old since their birth and they have only been mounted and never used.

no, they will work fine...they were MADE for a first generation, he HAS a second generation...notice in the pictures of them installed how far back the axle is? thats because they are too long between the front eye and the center pin

Or maybe thats to much to ask for.

Thanks
