Nice springs, looks like they're probably a good bit lighter than the V6 springs too.

Talk about trying to fit 10lbs in a 5lb bag. They must make one heck of a spring compressor.

I agree.

Blackcash, i'm not sure man. It's their 5.5", 18", 250lb spring. Might want to wait till I get it installed before buying a set though. I'm kind of testing the waters with it. It may need an adjustable strut to help control movement on the street, not sure yet.

AKlowriderZ71, here's a picture of the tool from their site.

Alright, I'll let you be the guinea pig. My truck still has stock length V6 springs, and I was gonna try some shocks for a slightly lifted truck to help get that front end moving up. See how that works first.

Speaking of getting the front end to lift , why does our trucks fail to hang on the upper a arm limiters when our trucks are jacked up? Whats stopping them from hanging till they touch the stops?
Like this?

Ford explorer front shocks 90's model, 94 I think.
