4" suspension with SOA rear

[94EXPLODER]

Hello
I have a 94 explorer currently with a 3" bl....i have a 4" Rough Country lift for the front and doing a SOA in the rear....with the SOA i will be getting 5-6"lift...what are some ways to level it out?
Coil spacers up front...
take a leaf out of the pack...make for softer ride?
adjust shackles..which way?
these are some suggestions by some people
Thanks Alot!

Put a 1-1.5" spacer under the front coils as the weight of the explorer is gonna sag those coils a bit anyway.

Swapping to Ranger leafs should lower it around 2".

 

[94EXPLODER]

and those would be same width and length?

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

Yes they would be a direct swap, as many ranger owners swap in a set of stock 4 door explorer leafs into a ranger to gain a couple inches of lift.

alright cool...junkyard price approx??

Too bad I got rid of my old leafs, damn. Genes should be around $60 or so for both.

ok cool..Blackbetty all i need is my pitman arm and the bolts

So you still need the most expensive part of the build? I swear I have more money in my truck in grade 8 hardware than I do in the gears and gear install. No body is lying when they say the expensive parts are the nuts and bolts.

got to tracter supply, you can get grade 8 by the pound...it costs a lot less.
