I am hoping to get to the junkyard soon to get some exploder rear springs to replace my sagg suspension. My question is, is there any particular model or year to look for to give me the best lift? I already have the front springs/swaybar.
Thanks in advance
Wes

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
they will ride like ass compared to the stock bronco springs.


may be better off getting some nice custom soft springs or oem replacement grade packs.....you want thin leaves in those.

No... they actually dont ride like ass....I had explorer springs on stock shackles before my lift, and now I have the explorer springs on custom shackles...

They are the perfect springs for a B2 in my opinion if you plan on keeping it near stock height...

Look for the three leaf pack... stay away from the mono-leaf...
