I've searched. The only thing I can come up with is that I have factory trailer wiring and that this may be some sort of "tow package"? (BTW- I don't have a hitch). Anybody else out there with a 01-03 with multi-leaf rear springs?

Thanks!

All 01 - 03's have multi-leaf springs. The previous generation had the mono-leaf.
 






They had the multi-leaf packs minus the overload leaf.

Why is my rear end sagging?

I'm contemplating doing the 4door explorer rear springs + shackles and the TT up front.

Since I have a multi leaf spring:

Option A: Should I AAL and swap the springs left and right?
Option B: 4 Door springs?

Keep in mind I will do the TT & shackles at the same time.

Truck has 75k on it.
 






I've had an add a leaf set put on my 01 sport due to the left rear end sagging. Not only did they have to put the add a leafs on but had to bend the leafs that were on the left side to match the right.

All of that ran me about 400 bucks. :o
 






It all depends on how much money you want to spend. You can buy some 2 inch lift springs na dput them on(or have them put on) or just some AAL(they are 30 bucks) shackels(50) and swap side to side. That will give you a good 2 inches in the rear then TT the fron to match it and make it level.
