I just bought a 97 sport.

When I look at it ...it looks like it's leaning back.

Are my back shocks bad or something? Or is this a normal explorer stance?

Would it be ok to put 20" rims in teh back and 18"s in the front to level it out a bit?

Thanks

no, that would look seriously retarded. If you used the search you would have found out what the problem is
Its called leafspring sag. As the trucks get older, the leafs fatigue and become flatter, hence why the rear of your x sags. You can swap out the monoleafs you have and install a 4door leaf pack from a newer explorer or buy a new leaf pack from ford. The plus with buying a 4dr leaf pack, is that you can add a leaff in the pack to bring th rear up some more, if there is still some sag.
