Spring replacement

[94Blue302GT]

I have a single leaf spring on an explorer sport. I'd like to tow, so i was going to swap to the multileaf springs in the rear. It's a smallish boat, nothing huge, but i don't want the sag if possible.Doable, or dumb idea?

It should be fine if you throw the 4dr leafs in there for towing a small boat.

Been there, done that.
$100.00 from a junk yard for a pair of springs.
It is a fairly easy task for any weekend warrior.

Good luck and lemmie know if you need any help.

Any additional parts needed? i.e. longer U bolts, hardware, etc. Reason I ask is that I probably won't go to a u-pull-it yard, otherwise I'd leave all that stuff hanging on the spring when I go pay.

For a '98 Sport.

Im going to end up doing the same. does it matter what yr 4dr the leafs come off of? Do the 4dr leafs articulate better than the mono leaf?

 

[pfeffer1728]

what if you have a 4dr and your leafs SUCK, ie they squeak, bounce somethin awful, and sway side to side on turns?

Then you need to either replace bushings, put a sway bar on it, stiffer shocks or replace the spring packs.
