Hi :)

Why shouldn't my rear driver side leaf springs be pushed down

It's a sign that the truck is severely overloaded.

It's your truck. Do what you want with it. But don't be surprised when it breaks and don't blame Ford.

How much water weight do you think is in the bed of my ranger from this picture.

I'd like to see a picture of the axle tube under the frame.

What does the axle tube look like under the frame.

Do you think i could leave that much weight in my bed for a total of 1 week without any damage happening.

That's what I want to know... How close is the frame to the top of the rear axle.

It can't be determined from that photo. I told you how to figure it out. Go measure and calculate it if you want to know.

Whats the best way for me to measure my frame to the top of my rear axle.

 

[alwaysFlOoReD]

Tape measure.

No, and you probably already caused some harm by grossly overloading the ranger like that, once you flatten the leaf packs out they very rarely recover and or you end up breaking a leaf or two

I used to overload mine regularly and didnt break anything.

But that said its still not a good idea

What if I have to deliver a load of water to my local AI panopticon surveillance center and my only means is a 2wd 1993 2.3l ranger with fiberglass monoleaf rear suspension?

Be sure to reduce the truck weight by removing the back window.
