New Leaf Springs

[Jason94sport]

Where's the best place to get a factory pair of leaf springs for a 94 sport. Mine are really rusted, & I want them replaced. Maybe I can get a complete pair that's been lifted 1.5 inches, & then add some 1.5" lift coils for the front. I do not want a whole lift.
Thanks

I'd start by checking with Torrie and ford parts network.......I'm sure he can help.

Old Man Emu makes 1.5" lift springs for the rear. Those would be your best bet since they are actually CHEAPER than factory springs and much better too.

You can also just get WAR153 shackles for the leafs and those will add 1"-1.5" of lift too and put some tension back on the springs. Just FYI, rust is normal on springs..can't be helped.

Skyjacker and superlift both make the lift springs for the front, or you can just get the F150 spacers too.

Anime4x4,
The OME springs are not cheaper, but they are much better and they are 2" not 1.5".
Skyjacker only makes them in 4" and 6" lifted, I have the 4" lifted springs.

SCEXPLORER,
Yes you can replace the mono spring with OME's, Tom Wilk did it with his sport.
OME stands for Old Man Emu which is a subsidary Of ARB the makers of the air locker.
As to your second question, Why would you want to use a add-a-leaf with the OME springs? It's not needed sine the OME's will give you 2" of lift. If you want more lift than that, buy the Skyjacker 4" lifted springs, but then you would have to raise the front end also.

I have a 2wd so i'm looking into the explorer pro comp spindle system which comes with and addleaf, shocks, and spindles for a 3inch lift. Is replacing the monoleaf with the multi leaf pack hard to do? Is just direct replacement or do i have to modify anything?
