99 5.0 rear sag

[xr600boy]

My dad has a 99 EB AWD with the 5.0 in it and the rear sags about 1 to 1.5 inches. We were looking for an add-a-leaf but we are having no luck. Please help. Thanks

I was told by Explorer Pro Comp, via e-mail, that this would work on a 1995+ Explorer. Some on the site are actually running these add-a-leaf's as well. Here is a link to buy them: http://store.summitracing.com/part....77D&part=2D25BDEC-3630-11D3-949D-080009FC5B5F Hope this helps.

My 98' lemon had three genuine ford replacements because of sag. I made my own extended shackles, it pretty hard to get Explorer bits in Australia, They made a great short term lift and took away the rear droop. BUT, after three months the leaf springs just kept sagging. Finally my local dealer decided to send the springs to a local spring works a they did an add a leaf under warranty. This seemed really cool but that made the car jump all over the road. just a word of advice after suffering months of torture here. The back end must ride lower than the front. So if you put extended shackles in wind those torsion bars up so the front sits slightly higher. I don't know why but sure as hell you'll feel the back end jump across the road when you hit a slight bump on a bend if you don't. Then again my old truck was a real lemon. Reputable add a leafs made do ok.
Best of Luck

NoBoundaries, the add-a-leafs that you suggested worked like a charm. The truck now sits level or may be with a slight rake. Thanks for the advice, and they took no time at all to install.

Glad I was able to help!! Sorry about the late response, been really busy lately. I kind of like the back end being a little higher then the front, it gives the truck an agressive look, not to mention, keeps the truck level with a load.
