I was looking at that link at the different leaf spring measurements to use for lowering my jeep comanche. I noticed that in the Ford part for the 95-01 explorer leafs there is one that shows wedge/4 with a spring capacity of 877lbs. I was wondering what the designation of wedge meant? Do they already have a wedge cast into them for angling the rear pinion or what. Also if anyone happens to have these wedge springs what specific models should I look for in the junkyard to find them in? Any info or pics would be appreciated so I can know if they are a feasable option or not.
