No mine has coil springs
Depends on whether you have coil springs or torsion bars.
no the torsion bars didn't come out til the 1998 model year
I believe that is torsion bars on the front and leaf springs on the back ( on 4x4 )
Instead of using coil springs on the front suspension torsion bars are used from the lower control arms to the frame ( my 1995 Ford Explorer 4x4 has torsion bars , my dads 73 Dodge Coronet had torsion bars ) If you look at a lower front suspension that has torsion bars you will see the torsion bars going from the lower control arms rearward
I fit 32x11.50 Pro Comp All Terrains on my 2000 Ford Ranger. Just crank your torsion bars all the way up. You will have plenty of clearance.
Its a pain. You first have to drop the torsion bars under the truck. Then get a pulley puller and push the torsion bars back up to remove the metal pieces holding the torsion bars in. Remove the puller and take the torsion bars off. You will then need to remove the bracket holding the torsion bars. ONce that is done, you will have enough clearance to drop the tranny. The hard part is getting the torsion bars back on. Come to think of it, I think you can buy a tool from Ford to pull the torsion bars off. It pretty expensive that why I use a pully puller. Not all F-150s have torsion bars. Buy a Chilton Repair Manual for your correct year. It'll tell you everything step by step.
My 1995 Ford Explorer 4x4 has ( 2 ) torsion bars on the ( front suspension ) They are the long horizontal bars instead of having coil springs
1996 Explorers do not have front struts. They use torsion bars as springs that require special tools to remove and conventional shock absorbers that are easy to remove.
Yes , shock absorbers front and rear. 4X4 models or models with the 4X4 suspension (but aren't real 4X4 models) will have rear shocks only and then have torsion bars in the front.
A Dodge Ram does not have torsion bars.
