looks like they should be pretty close to bolting right in. Even got the Explorer shackles with the springs and the shackles appear to be slightly longer than the BII units.

I'll see about doing the swap one night next week. Just need to grab some new u-bolts from the auto parts store.

Just a bit of info for everyone.

The springs fit perfectly. Direct bolt in.
The Explorer shackles do not. They are too wide at the top. Shame too as they are longer than the stock B2 units.

I'll report back on ride quality as soon as I get the driver side done. The front hangar bolt is stuck something fierce.
