I have three 2wd regular cab short box Rangers. My '91 is my V-8 swap project and has very soft leaf springs, my '87 does also but my '86 has very firm/stiff leafs. I'm thinking of swapping the '86 leafs onto the '91 'cause I want to build it for corner carving. I'd swear the spring code on the door stickers is the same on all three trucks but I guess that doesn't mean they're necessarily the same Part #.
Are the '86 leafs compatible with the '91?
Of course I'll need anti sway bars too but I thought the springs would be a good place to start since I already have them. I'm also thinking of installing the '86 leaves WITHOUT the overload or half leaf, whatever you call them, as I don't plan to carry more than a few hundred lbs, (ever), and I believe that may lower the rear a half inch or so.
Thanks for your help,
Mike
