hopefully some of you can tell me what went wrong...i have a 2000 4wd that the springs were flat...so after reading a bunch i thought explorer leafs would be the best option...i went to my local u-pick and found a set off a 98 4 door with 80000 miles looked like they were in great shape.(happened to be an eddie bauer dont know if it makes a diff?) got both for 50 bucks took em home and installed them on my truck...
after it was back on the ground i may have gained maybe half an inch and i kept the stock block also. everything ive read is i should have gained about 2 inches at least?
one other peice of info the 4 door springs didnt have an overload on the bottom...would it make a differenence other than the half inch for the width if i was to take the one off the old ranger pack and put it on the explorer leafs?
i know this is long winded but im kinda stumped...what about frankensteining the old ranger and explorer springs together?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
