I am starting to collect parts for my SAS under my truck but i dont know whats leaf springs to use. I had read that wagoneer springs work really and that is a possibility but I can get a really good deal on some wrangler spring either 2 or 3.5 inch lifted and was wondering how they would hold up? Thanx in advance for you help.
 






here is some further information on the build (I am the brother that has a hook up on tuff country leaf springs)

Its a 98 explorer 4door, 5.0 v8...wanting to run 35s. Axle is a dana 44 out of a '76 F150 that we will be narrowing.

Is there a spring rate we should look for? Also any specific length of spring that we should look for? or length of spring to stay away from?

I can basically get any spring, just seeing if there are other good options besides the wagoneer stock height spring.
