    Add A Leaf / Ride Height Update

    Soa brief recap and update as well as a new question. Had a squat and significant driver's side lean. I had it aligned and he said he cranked the driver's side torsion bar almost all the way and there was still a lean. I swapped the rear leafs side to side and installed an add a leaf. Rear was...

    96 Explorer Limited Add a Leaf Done - Beware...

    Sorry long post..... My “free Explorer” (about $1.5K into it now) had the driver’s side lean. It didn’t really have much of a rear sag but the Explorer does have the Automatic Ride Control which levels out the ride height. I carry band equipment and occasionally a load of heavy stuff. I am also...

    1996 Limited Add-Leaf Question

    Follow-up to my original questions. So here is why I want a stiffer suspension in the rear. This will be my daily runaround but also will haul band equipment to medium to small gigs. The auto air ride kicked in and it helped level it but man was it bouncy. I decided to go with heavier add a...

    96 Explorer Replacement Column Binding?

    96 Explorer limited. Previous owner drilled out the column to remove tumbler. I bought a good used complete column from an auto recycler. Had to change the shift cable bracket and steering wheel (wrong color). I also swapped the shift lever and rail (name?) that is mounted on top of the column...

    1996 Limited Add-Leaf Question

    Longer would be the plan. Don't want to offset the auto air control benefits.

    1996 Limited Add-Leaf Question

    LMC doesn't list the leaf spring. I havent had much faith in the quality of the items I've bought there for other builds anyway. I think I'm gonna see what info I may get here about swapping sides and adding a leaf. Several hits on other forums and the consensus is to do it.

    1996 Limited Add-Leaf Question

    I searched for my specific question but couldn't find anything so I thought I'd post. I'm working on a 96 limited that was given to me and I'm down to suspension and it has the left side lean and rear squat due to the springs being worn. This will be my daily driver as well as hauling equipment...

    Disable all of the ads?

    I've never been to a forum that has so many pop-ups and ads. I realize this is generating money for somebody but is there a way to make this more usable? If I'm using my phone, the pop-ups fill up the whole page and I can't even see anything and I have to keep closing them down and then I end up...

    1996 4x4 Speedometer Drive Gear Remoal

    Hi all. New here. Was given a 1996 Limited 4x4 auto with Control Trac. Trying to fix an issue where the drive gear in the transfer case is eating up the driven gear on the sensor (well actually 3 now...). Reading the writeup here on rebuilding the 4405, judging by the pics, it appears the gear...
