Rear springs

[1970Custom]

Anybody know if there's a factory leaf pack that'll swap into an Explorer? Looking for a heavier rate to keep from squatting so bad when I pull a loaded trailer.

Might try this place. It looks like a they add a spring?

I was thinking more along an OEM spring that I can find in a salvage yard

imo either add leafs to your exiting springs..or replace them Eric...helper springs are only band aids....

Won't be doing the "helper springs", I want at least 1/2 ton load capacity, 3/4 ton would be better. Won't ever carry that much weight, but it doesn't take much to squat the back end. Good possibility of pulling a fully equipped welding trailer here in the near future...
