still trying to figure out which i need. i go back and forth with new progressive exploder springs or progressive leveling coils for the b2.
I dont do alot of off road, but i want to do some FS and BLM. but i want to still have a nice ride on the street since this is my DD.
Im thinking the progressive exploders are the way to go.
any comments? :dunno:
 
I used Skyjacker 132xs levaling springs on my 86 ranger XL(long bed, std. cab) and got about 2.5" of lift. They ride good, still floats like a caddy well in the front. In the back I used explorer leafs got about 1.5" of lift, the ride in the rear is a little stiff.
 
thanks for responding :icon_bounceblue: I decided to go with the 132. i think this will give me enough to level me out. the differance between back and front is 1.5 inches. and ya, its a little stiff. but i can live with it.
 
I have stock replacement progressive coils in my explorer right now... and the ride is stiffer than the stock springs... I would think they would be way stiff under a BII or Ranger.
 
I find explorer springs on a B2 stiff.I put on Skyjacker 134s on there a good balance between flex and safety with the nod toward safety.
