what t bar do i have ?

There may be three for Rangers, but there are actually more than that for Rangers and Explorers.
Most 4x2 Edges come with "F" bars -- the weakest.
Most 4x4's come with B, 2, or 1 bars. 1 are the stiffest I know of, 2 are slightly less. B bars are what I put in to replace the crappy F bars that sagged after ing them and thrashing my truck. The B's have held up just fine.
I don't know of any Rangers with 2's. Most are in fact 1's (like FX4's and tow package 4x4's), B's (most 4x4's I THINK), and F's.
The spring field on your door pillar sticker is 2 characters and the first one refers to the type of torsion bar. BF would mean type B front bars, type F rear springs.
My 4x2 Edge was FK from the factory. Crappy weak springs. BF and 1F are the most common on 4x4's as far as I know, but some have the crappy K rears.

Late model Rangers use at least 3 different leaf spring packs. "C" are the heaviest and are often used on trucks with the optional Payload Package #2. They are also standard on Level II's. The lightest rate springs are on 4x2's with the standard Payload Package #1. Between the two extremes is a mixture of the 3 spring rates, depending on a variety of variables.
Since Explorers use a different leaf spring arrangement, they are probably on a different scale from Rangers anyway.

Hey, good deal on getting the truck fixed. I'm sure it'll be nice to get your "old friend" back, lol.
