I have a 01 sport which sags in the back terribly. I went out and bought from a junkyard leafs from a 4 door explorer. I started looking at my leafs (which are still on my explorer) and the 4 door ones i just bought, and they look the same. They each have 4 leafs on them and i thought sports were supposed to have a monoleaf.

Did i just waste my money? Did they start putting spring packs on the sports? If they did, then mine still sags very bad in the back. What is the deal here?

Sounds like someone added the 4 door leaves before you bought the beast. You may have wasted your money, how much did you pay?
 






100 for both, if there are 4 door leafs on there, then it didnt fix any sag at all
 






Thats what i paid for mine that i bought a while back. Sagging is always an issue on the explorer. You might want to try adding an ad-a-leaf. I'm sure you could probably sell those springs on here if you tried.
 






the sport in 01 got leaf pack, rather than the mono leaf they had in 1991-2000

Wow, learn something new everyday!
 






Yep and the ass end still sags even with 4 door leaves! Try an AAL.
 






so will it sag any less at all with these 4 door springs i just bought or should i take them back and keep my stock ones that are on it right now?
 






Take them back and get an AAL.
 






Ya i had the sag in my 01, then i did the aal and it actually lifted the back higher than the front but after doing the TT to level it out it rides flush. Then of coarse i needed to lift it more cause thats just the way i am :p
 






I, too, did the AAL on my 01 Sport. I did a little TT but not enough to even it out entirely. I kinda like the look of the backend up just a little bit higher than the front!
