4drs are stiffer I believe.

there is a bunch of different packs. some with more leaves, some with less regaurdless of # of doors. I have run accross 3 different ones myself.

I'd just go to the wreckers and look around. Buy the set with the most leaves, you can fine tune them by adding/subtracting leaves and mix and match with other springs. Works great for me and cheap.

None bolt right up there to long in the main leaf. Just get a set of 80's 4x4 leaf the driver side has more leafs do to the gas tank being on that side, you need to remove the leaf that is not on the pass side so they are the same leafs and use the main from your springs.

NO, they are the same left and right rear springs on a Toyota but they are good quality springs and can be mixed and matched. Fronts are totally different and the center pin is not close to being centered on the leaves...so you don't want the front ones unless you're building a very unique spring.

Ranger springs will bolt up to 4dr Explorers. The Ranger main leaf is a softer rate so what a lot of people do is put the rest of the Explorer leaf pack with the Ranger main leaf (or various combinations). This makes a cheap spring with ok flex and still can carry the weight. Hard use will eventually ruin them though. another much more expensive alternative are the Old Man Emu Explorer 2" lift springs. The part number is OME-36, not sure if it is still valid. These are premium quality spring packs that have outstanding flex and actually have better ride control that stock. The downfall is that you pay through the nose.

F150 springs will bolt into your MJ. It will move the axle forward about an inch if you use teh main. I ran them in my old MJ for a while- stiffer than stock packs and gave me a little lift.
