...I have a similar set up but with a shell and haul a lot of tools with my Ranger...
...Gabriel makes a coilover for loads to replace your rear shocks at about $79 a pair which I ran for a while...I also off road my truck and found the coilovers a little to stiff so I wound up going with AAL's (add a leafs) added to the stock springs...
...After a couple years of hauling tools all week and offroading pretty regular, my AAL's and leafs have flattened, but for 2 years, this has been the perfect setup for me...
...I plan on doing a mixture of another used good set of Ranger springs, Explorer springs, and AAL's to test them out...
im new at this what i want to know is anything about the suspension regarding leaf springs and airbags. I am a carpenter and i have outfitted my ranger to serve my needs as well as possible. last month i installed air bags and i now discovered my leaf springs are broken. my mechanic sez it is due to years of overloading my truck. what i want to know is should i get springs that will handle a bigger load or should i just go with stock set and let the airbags handle the rest.
