Up to what year rear springs fit a 97 X-cab 4x4 ranger

[Skyn97Ranger]

So I have a 97 x - cab 4 x 4 ranger that’s in need of rear springs badly and I’m wondering how far up in the years can I go for a replacement

Up thru 2011 should fit.
There were two different payload packages available though, so make sure you get something from a truck having a GVWR fairly close to yours (according to a brochure I have, '97 SuperCab 4x4s should be either 4920 or 5100lbs GVWR).

Thanks 4x4Junkie, this is exactly what I needed to know

I've heard something about 2009 and up possibly having bigger leaf spring bolts

2010, 2011 with the rear disc brakes have larger U-bolts and spring plates (much like the FX4 trucks with the Torsen limited slip have). The spring itself should be the same fitment however.
