I can get a set of very low mile late model Ranger rear leaf springs... but don't know what they were out for a truck.

The Explorer springs I have now are on the stiff side, it rides pretty rough and with a F-150 in the fleet I don't really need the weight carrying abilities of them.

I compared them before I put the Explorer springs in and they were a little taller than my Explorer springs but of course there is more beef to the Ex springs.

Just looking them is there any way to know what their weight rating is?

There are calculators for both coil spring and leaf. I know there is one for coils in the tech section, I was looking at it last night. Check for leafs there, if not, goggle it.
