What is the benefit of the two-stage leaf pack design?

The two-stage leaf pack is designed to offer a better balance between ride comfort and load-carrying capacity. It helps the spring perform well under normal driving conditions while still being able to handle extra weight when needed.

Does this leaf spring come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This product is the leaf spring itself. It's recommended to check the manufacturer's installation guide or consult with a professional to determine if any additional hardware, such as U-bolts or bushings, are needed for your specific application.

How does the shot peening process benefit the leaf spring?

Shot peening is a process that introduces compressive residual stresses on the surface of the spring. This helps to reduce tensile stress, which in turn lowers the risk of cracking and increases the overall lifespan of the leaf spring.

Product Details

When you're looking to get your 1991-2015 Ford Explorer ready for more than just the pavement, the ARB/OME CS042R rear leaf spring is a solid option. This isn't just a replacement part; it's designed to work as part of an integrated suspension system to give you better performance whether you're hauling gear or heading off-road.

What you get here is a well-built leaf spring that's been put through its paces. It features re-greasable nylon pads between the leaves to cut down on friction and noise, helping to keep things comfortable. Most rear springs like this use a two-stage leaf pack, which is a smart design for balancing ride comfort with load-carrying ability. ARB also bolts the leaf clamps to make sure you can install those anti-squeak liners, and they load test every spring to ensure it meets spec. Plus, the springs are shot-peened and fully scragged to reduce stress and prevent sagging over time, giving you a more durable setup.

This leaf spring is built with a military wrap design for added safety, and the leaves themselves are draw-tapered and diamond cut. It's a complete package designed to improve your Explorer's ride, handling, and how much weight it can carry.
