I was out and about the other day and I came across some bolt-on helper spring coils for the rear axle. They have a mounting perch on both sides, one bolts to the frame and the other uses a ubolt and perch to mount to the rear axle.
Has anyone tried these out on an explorer? It was manufactured for an F150but looked like it would fit, even if you had to hack a couple inches off of it. It also increases the load capacity by 1,500 lbs which would be awesome when towing a boat or large trailer.
My only worry is that it would stiffen up the rear end a little to much reducing cornering, but from the ease of install it may be worth it to slap them on and off just for towing.
