Are the SHO springs and Flex springs the same?

I don't believe so. My part number was H&R 51675 on my 16 MKS.

GLWS!

Hmm I wonder what's different because I just installed BC coilovers that were off a SHO

I would think yours were stiffer for the added weight of the flex?

 

[GhostlyGrenade]

I can't imagine the weight being much different. Maybe a few hundred lbs? But it could be a factor in towing maybe. I don't think the SHO is even rated to tow, where a flex can tow like 2k or something.

4.5k to be exact
But yes, the rating is based on the Flex being heavy in the rear compared to the SHO. Makes more of a difference with springs, there have been some issues where people using the SHO springs on a Flex had the rear sagging.

I've heard people using stock SHO springs on explorers, Explore's and Flex's springs are compatible as well.

It could be the Height difference! Z
