Thumbs up Finished spring swap

I purchshed 91 explorer coils and rear leafs from a wrecking yard and swaped them in on my 89 Bronco today, went out and played in some sand I have to say it was worth it. Smoother ride very little spring wrap modest 1'' lift gained.

GrayRanger, is that with both front and rear springs? Also, what size tires are on your rig? I currently have P235/75R-15's on my '87, and even with mild sag in the stock rear leafs, it sits similarly on level ground....

Thats front and rear,/235/75/15s.If yours is at that hight then you have no sag.I gaines 2 1/2" in rear and 1 1/2" in the front.I would have got more in the front but I have a winch and it adds weight to the front.Take a look at my Galleries and you will see how it was before with low fuel in the tank.
