2001 Sport spring swap advice

[stan412]

I have an 2001 sport with the classic squat in the rear. I am going to replace the rear springs with ones from a 4 door. The dealership gave me spring codes f,h,l and u. From what I can tell the f spring is the stiffer spring and the l spring is the softest (from the limited I think). Anyone know anything about this? What spring code should I use? Anyone know what spring code they used and how much did it lift? Any advice or information will be great!

If I'm not mistaken the 2001s don't have a mono-leaf and have a full leaf pack in the back. Also keep in mind that the front wheel well actually goes up higher than the rear wheel well creating an optical illusion and making it look like the rear is sagging when actually it's not.

Yes mine has the full leaf pack. I know that they do look like the back is lower due to the wheel well, but mine is sagging. I even took the spare tire off to see if that would help, but still way low in the rear. I can put a level on the window moulding and it is off a lot!

I wouldn't worry so much about spring codes. I got mine from a wrecker. Spent $80 on the pair, bolted them in and they lifted the back end just over an inch. Looked and handled much better.
