I've got the "lean" going on and I'm looking to fix the issue. Reading the forums I see a few "fixes" for the problem. What's best fix for this issue? Seems like swapping the left and right will only put a sagging leaf on the right side. I've seen someone say to install f150 leafs. What year f150 leafs fit our explorers?
 












You can pick up leaf spring helpers from autozone for about $50 I did that on all of my explorers and it made it great for regular driving and towing.
 






I swapped mine. Obviously the sag now follows the other side, but it's not as bad because the drivers side is heavier. So the "bad" spring has less weight to carry and you're loading up the "good" spring. So it does even it out quite a bit on top of the fact that over time it will level itself out.
