Need bushing help!!!! Leaf spring bushing kits.

[Danno87]

Hey all i think im about to ask a dumb question....haha anyway i am in the process of swapping to 8.8 and D35, i chose to go with the 92 explorer springs all around and before i start cutting the siezed bolts like a madman, i was wondering if the B2 leaf eyes are the same as the 92 explorer leaf eyes. this will tell me what kit to order instead of wasting half of a poly kit and losing $$ would be kewl to get an awnser and save all my ugly words for the PIA work to come.. PS>>> will the explr frnt springs be too stiff for offroad ? beats trial and error if i can get awnsers from yall.. thnx in advance.

There is NO poly kit available for the Explorer springs. The explorer springs take a large 1-7/8" bushing at one end and the standard RB-131 ranger bushing at the other end.

1995-2000 use a funny sized bushing. There are NO poly kits available. Unfortunately, my argument is pointless due to the OP having '92 springs. Carry on...

this is true i do have 92' springs =P i read a bit in the library and forums telling me to be carefull with changing the springs from B2 to explr---4dr, beings the springs are about 2-3x stiffer than my stock springs causing poor offroad performance and requiring drop brackets =( i was looking for haulin more wieght without mashin the bump stops the hole trip... but if the front springs are not worth it i will not change em out lemme know guys THNX>>>>
