- 2000 Explorer Sport
Hi all,
I have a 2000 Ford Explorer Sport 2 Door with about 75,000 miles on it. I do some light towing with a small boat and haul some stuff around town and do lots of highway driving. I have a bad case of the dreaded rear end sag! I am guessing it is the leaf springs that are going. I looked and I have the mono leaf springs with it looks like spaces under them. What is the best solution to acheive proper ride height in the back and also have it maintain the correct height when towing or hauling loads in the back? Should I replace the leafsprings and also the shock with heavy duty ones? What are the favorite shock replacements and leaf springs? I have heard of people using junkyark 4 door springs are there any new aftermarket springs that I could buy that would fit? Looking for the cheapest but correct solution, no temporary or bandaid fixes! I was thinking about the Monroe Sensatrac shocks but need some spring recommendations. Anyone know a junkyark/ or supplier I can buy online for 4 door springs? Thanks!
