Add a Leaf + Shackles = Superlift 4" springs??

[cmacclel]

Anyone?? I hate Shackles. Will the 4" Superlift springs be too high with a 2" torsion lift up front and a 3" BL??

you'll have 4" in the rear.. and 2" in the front... you will be raking...

Which is totally awesome!

Actually if there 4" higher than the stock sagging springs it would be perfect. Every explorer I see is higher up front by at least an inch.

but they are 4" over new stock... so you would have a rake....the sagging is why people need to do both the aal and shackles to their sagging stock springs.

Every Explorer sport I have ever seen sags in the back new. I purchased my 01 Sport new and immediately put an Airlift airbag suspension in the rear to level it out and help with towing my boat. My point is if I got 4" from the springs over my stock springs then the back may be 1 inch higher than the front which would be no big deal. 2" is unacceptable.

I wonder if that F150 leaf pack would give me 3"?? Hmm

One with a sport wanting to match up a TT. They might consider a set of springs out of a four door Explorer. Possibly a AAL if needed as well.

I hear alot about the Old Man Emu springs... which are 2"s of lift over stock I believe, I would go with those if you dont want AAL or SHackles.

I checked those springs out there like double the price of the superlifts!

Maybe I just didn't get my point across.

The sports do not have a true leaf pack, rather just a mono leaf.
Therefore an AAL can not be used
If an aftermarket spring is used you will end up with a full pack which will give you 2" more than advertised.
Grab yourself a set of leafs from a 4-door X bolt em on and viola 2" of lift and a cure to that saggy rear.

 

[cmacclel]

I have a full leaf pack

Why not go spring over to acheive the 4-5" of lift?

Because on a 4x4 you could never get the front up high enough to match the rear. Believe me I would love to do a SOA as It would cost me near nothing as I have a full machine shop and TIG welder at my disposal.

I just checked............. the superlift springs are a progressive rate spring which give you a much nicer ride and are only $260 a set.

I have the superlift springs. They ride ok, but I don't like them that much. Out of 10 I'll give them a 6!

Do the superlift springs ride better than the stock ones with an AAL?
