Strange rattle In Explorer

[JDGREEN8513]

I have a 98 Sport and last summer I replaced the single leaf springs in the rear with multi leafs from a 00 4x4. A couple months after this I began to notive a funny rattle inside my x. I believe it may be coming from the interior roof or possibly from the sides...I was wondering if the stiffer springs could have caused this. Any one else have similar problems???

i had 2 - 12" in mine and recently sold them and after removing them i began to hear a strange noise to from my interior roof. If i apply pressure to it, it will stop. the area is almost the center of the roof.
I firgured that the subs prob cause the rattle.
Anyone have any suggestions for me or JD on what it might be and how to stop it?

I get a little rattling now since I have put add a leafs, TT, shackles and BFG AT's (with more tire pressure) in my X. I also live in more a city now,with crappy roads, so I bounce all ove rhte place with my stiffer shocks as well (Rancho 5000's). Yes, I think the rattles in teh back or roof areas stem from stiffer suspensions, I am not sure how to fix them, I haven't advanced that far yet. I suppoed we could just go through hte panels and tighten them of put some padding in, but who knows. Maybe we'll have to live with it for a bit.
