Kinda thinking the Skyjackers in my '85 ain't what they once were... but not sure how to pick what to replace them with.
Front has 31's and D35 so it has more unsprung weight than a stock '85. SBF along for the ride so sprung weight is higher than stock too. And Explorer springs so more spring too.
Rear also has 31's obviously, Explorer 8.8 and springs from an '07 scab so similar story there aside from not much more sprung weight.
Just get the HD stuff for an '85? Is there a calculator for this or is it not that big of a deal?
