Has anyone attempted putting '98+ Coil spring Ranger drop arms on their 2nd gen Explorer? They look like they will bolt right on, then is a matter of doing a coil-over conversion to eliminate the T-bars.

I believe the explorer doesn't have upper spring pockets!

no they don't, hence this part of my original post;

I found my answer any way, they do bolt right on. airbagit.com sells airbag kits for Explorer/Ranger Edge and it is the same kit they sell for coil spring set ups but with an extra bracket to mount the top of the bags.
 












Not yet, but it is on my "to do list" (which is about as long as my arm, so it may take a while)
