Ford Explorer Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV with body-on-frame construction. Available with V6 or V8 power, the Explorer competes against the TrailBlazer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, and Pathfinder. Explorer was completely redesigned in 2006 and we were pleased with the new steering, new suspension, and new brakes, all of which were vastly improved over the previous-generation.

There's a place I know about, where the dirt road runs out, and we can try out the 4 wheel drive..come on now, what do you say?
I've got the perfect place in mind, it's in the middle of nowhere, only one way to get there, you got to get a little mud on the tires.

You have a monoleaf (sport)? If so, swapping in a 4 door leaf pack will give a better ride, along with about an inch in the rear. Also, the add-a-leaf doesn't work with a mono leaf spring, so if that's what you have, remember you will need to swap in the multi leaf pack first.

what you may also wanna do is use your stock mono leaf and add on with some leafs from a full size truck......this will make your ride a little bit rougher but will also give between 1-2 inches depending on what leaves you drop in

No, no code needed, just pull the leaf packs off from a 4 door.

I took 5 of the six leaves from a RamCharger and they work just fine or you can swap out with the four door and do an add a leaf
