are 1st gen expos pron to sagging front ends ? on my 92 theres only maybe an INCH of clearence between the arm and rubber bump stop under truck does that mean springs are bad better to buy new ones or go to the junk yard ? and ill also do the shocks and ill do the RAB`s as well
 






All coil springs are prone to sagging. Explorers are no exception. If I was going to replace the springs, always do them in pairs and unless not available, I would get new ones. Its alot of work to change them and junkyard springs may sag just as much when the weight is put on them.


As long as the camber of the front tires is correct and your tires don't hit the fenders, you should be fine. If your truck is 2wd it should sit a little lower in the front, if its 4wd, then it may sit a little higher in the front, but should be about level.

There really is not much clearance to the stops, I blew mine off in a jump long ago:eek:
