Junkyard spring options
So my new to me ranger rides nice and sporty in the front, but it is unnecessarily stiff in the rear. I know from my s-10 days that the 4wd springs were a little softer but more progressive.
Is this true for the rangers as well? What years can I pull from? I see the newer rangers sitting nice and high stock with 3-4 leaf packs. All I can think is that must ride nice.
Right now I have stock springs with 2in blocks, if possibly I would like to replace the blocks with bigger springs but deavers are not an option right now.
Thanks in advance,
Travis

Second letter is your rear spring.
For the softest ride, go to your local junkyard and find a 2wd ranger. Take said springs.
theres about a billion different springs that came in rangers, (not really, just 15 or so over the years) the 2wd springs will give you a soft ride (that available) and still be able to hold some weight.
However, i'd recommend looking into new shocks also if you want a softer ride, springs are pretty much universal for ride quality, its only a matter of payload.
