Rear suspension sag.

[kerrynoble]

Anyone know of a manufacturer or supplier of replacement rear springs or aftermarket suspension to get the 'sag' out of the butt of the Explorer?

Buy the 4 door leaf pack to rid your sport of the "butt sag" for a longer period of time.

you can also consider changing your rear shocks to an air adjustable load leveler style shock. I have been using them on my truck for years.

I would recommend the springs first and the shocks only to protect that investment from sagging again

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the shocks, suspensions, and lift kits section.

why wouldn't you just get lift shackles to raise the rear

Wouldn't replacing springs and lifting be a better idea?

Sagging springs are already weak, adding gravity to them is just going to weaken them even more. Weak springs tend to bounce. Bouncing in normal highway driving is a bit dangerous.

I have Warrior shackles on the back of my explorer and have rear sag, my rear springs looks like this ~ I am going to see about rreplacing them this summer.

replacing is the best option, go to a junkyard and get some that are not sagged, or get new from LMC ,
adding air shocks is an option , but not a good one, as the crossmember for the shocks is not made strong enough to handle the extra pressure of holding up the back of an Ex, it's just too weak, and will bend making the problem the same ,

shackles on top of sagged springs is not good either as it will actually invert the springs causing them to be even weaker, maybe even break,
