93 Exploder 4x4 coil to leaf?
My son and I am curious if it is difficult to convert from coil springs to leafs in the front and putting longer ones in the rear. I want to raise it a couple of inches easily and inexpensively and I know I can get them from the wrecking yard. If so how would I go about doing it. He has the Exploder and I have a 92 F-150 4x4 and we got idea when I noticed that the F-250's sit higher stock and I have a 3" body lift on mine and just want a little more lift and don't want to go the route of buying a whole suspension kit either.
Thanks,
Kallie and Chantz

you want to run a leaf pack on your TTB? Youll need to fab a flat spot onto you I beam for the leaf to sit. Then youll need to mount a spring hanger and a shackle hanger on each side for the leaf packs up front. Easily and inexpensively just went out the window unless you can fab parts yourself because youll need I-beam drop brackets also.

Wouldnt call lowering the towers ghetto, alot of peole do it that way, thats how I did mine. It's alot better than spacers, and you can get an exact amount of lift to level a truck out perfectly.
