1 is the stiffest.
 






Did 1 or 2s ever come on an Explorer? I have heard of them and ppl putting them on, but never heard of them stock. I think I may have a set of "B"s to sell, but not sure yet.

Jason.. any idea if all 5.0s come with the same letter tbars?
 






Not sure on the 5.0 thing.

Code 1 comes on Sport Tracs.
