Well now that I've finally gotten my financial aid refund, and it's starting to look like I'll be able to finally lower. I've just got a few questions to iron out with you guys.
My first question is an idea I had concerning the gangsta lean. I've read the sticky about swapping spring sides, but I had an idea... Now remember, in my mind this works, and I see no reason why it technically shouldn't work, lol...
I've thought about using an add-a-leaf system to lift up just one side of the Explorer in the rear, particularly the left side, where the sag is common. Would this hurt my Explorer's drivetrain in anyway? I'm thinking it won't because the axle would still be sitting level, the way it was suppose to. But when it's level finally, when I go to lower it I can still use blocks to lower?
The reason I'm thinking about this is that the Axle will be level from one side to another, and then the drop woudl be the same amount. Also, everything will be bolted in, and not be able to just move out of position.
Some insight please? If it's not a good idea I'll happily scrap it, but just thought I'd post and see what y'all thought.
Second question, what's a good shock for lowering? I'm going to replace all shocks and the front springs at teh same time. I figure while I have it apart, why not?
