Hello,
I'm pretty new to leaf springs and had a couple of questions. I have a 2000 explorer limited and the leaves need replaced. While I'm at it I would like to gain about 2" of lift since I'm replacing anyway but am very frugal so looking at the cheapest way to do this. I have a spare explorer I use for parts so I was wondering if I could mix and match leaves from them both to make a pack that rides decent and will gain about 2" lift? I've looked into junkyard F150 springs but the yard around me wanted $75 per side! I can almost buy new for that. Otherwise I thought about AAL but since mine are already worn I would like to replace them in someway. Any recommendations?
