explorer leaf spring bastard pack

[94excab4x4]

I just picked up some f150 coils and explorer leafs.

Is it possible to create a spring pack out of both of them that will lift the ranger 2.5'' (with the stock lift block) or will i need to use shackles at the 1'' setting to achieve this?

Any help would be appreciated, lifted a ranger before with a kit, kinda just throwing this truck together as money is tight.

I took the main leaf from a Ranger pack, cut off the eyes and ran it under the main leaf in an Explorer pack and that with Belltech shackles made the truck sit level with SJ 6" coils.

Some experimentation with different leafs may be necessary.

yes, you can get 2 or more inches out of a bastard pack, but it is going to be stiff. I used the Ranger main/explorer main (eyes cut off)/Ranger second/Explorer second/Ranger 3rd/overload and got about 2 inches.

so if I did that without shackles and took out the overload spring I would be close to 3" gonna try that this weekend. ill post back with pics when im done thanks a lot!
