the v8 explorers have traction bars from the factory.
You can easily add these to a Ranger, hack the tabs off a junk yard axle and truck and mount them up on the Ranger
Ranger leaf springs are weak weak they allow lots of axle wrap up
Stronger springs will help, traction bars are cool but avoid ones that rob you of ground clearance........ the explorer ones are a good setup and cheap too
I am looking to invest in either a set of Deaver Leaf Springs, or get rid of the leaf springs all together, and just say f it and four link the back. Since I have all this time now to work on the truck, as its no longer my daily.
