Shocks

[l-man]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have an 01 Explorer with about 150k mi. on it, and am looking to replace the OEM shocks. I am looking for something to smooth out the ride, and that bouncy-ness. I don't do any off-roading and it is still at stock height. I was looking at KYB Monomax shocks, and edelbrock IAS' at twice the price. Anyone have any suggestions/experiences. Thanks in advance

If you are looking for a comfortable ride witout too much shock action on a rough road I would suggest going with a standard action shock. The standard actiion shocks will give you a more comfortable ride on a rougher road, amd will result in better ride and control on a rough surface.

I recommend using Motorcraft shocks, same as they came from the factory. Next time I change my shocks I'm switching back to them. They last double the mileage than anything else I've seen and are quite smooth. If the shocks you have are original with 105k on them, then the replacements will smooth it out and get rid of the bounce.
