Leaf Spring Question
I am going to Superlift my truck in October and I do not want to double stack the rear blocks. I had some down time today and I found some Deaver Leaf Springs on Off Road Warehouse, which said they fit '83-05 Rangers. Which makes me think the leaf springs on these model years are interchangeable. Am I right in this assumption? If so will the Skyjacker leaf springs for the '83-'97 lift kits also work?

^^others report just 2" as well. I've always heard 2-2.5" lift or so.
Anyway...OP, yes Skyjacker offers 4" and 6" that fit every year ranger. ALOT cheaper than deavers, plus they're 4 or 6" lift, instead of the 2.5" lift the deavers give you. Other ways you can get around the stacked blocks is by use of a Belltech 6400(2" chev drop shackle), AAL, and your stock 2.5" block. That's my setup and that's the cheapest way to get 3" lift to axe that hackjob stacked block that Superlift wants you to do, which is also 3". It also sits about dead level....truck only has about a 1/3" rake(thank you saggy t-bars).
Please head up to the button on the top left of your page called "user cp" and create yourself a signature telling us a little about your truck(year, model, engine, trans, mods, etc...)

yes, I am runing the 6'' skyjacker leaf springs on my 06 FX4 L2
only thing you will need is smaller bolts to go threw the front bushings
or you can change the front bushings on the leafsprings to ones with larger holes to fit the stock bolts
I bought some bushings but I couldnt wait for them to get here so I just bought smaller bolts, and now
that I have them on Im to lazy to take them back off and switch out the bushings, just so I can run the bigger stock bolts, I will sell you the new bushings I bought if you want them

Can't forget the OP's gotta get himself some new U-bolts too.
