Bigger rear sway bar, poly bushings?
 






are there any stiffer rear springs on the market?
 






Stiffer rear springs?

What are you using to lift the rear? If you've already got the add-a-leaf in there from the Skyjacker lift, that should be pretty stiff. You can also throw in the leaf packs from a 4-door instead, which will be slightly stiffer (and even more so with the add-a-leaf) with the extra spring and even give a little more lift.


If you're looking to reduce body roll, poly bushings along with good shocks (Bilstein, KYB Monomax, KYB Gas-a-Just, Edelbrock, Rancho RS9000, etc.) are your best bet.

Energy Suspension makes a full poly bushing kit just for the 91-94.


You can also get thicker sway bars, but that's quite an expensive option.


You can also throw in the rear sway bar from a 95+ Explorer, which is much beefier than the stock 91-94 rear bar. This reduces body roll, but also has the effect of making it slightly oversteer rather than understeer. You'll also need bushings for a 95+ explorer to install it.
 






i dont have an add a leaf but it appears that i need to get springs off a 4 door
 






Try just adding an add-a-leaf. Should stiffen it up enough. You don't want to make it too stiff.
 






i believe there is a helper spring kit just for the sport suspension.
 






I'd say check your shocks also. Body roll is usually a indication of shot shocks.
