Ole Man Emu Shocks Installed

Well I got my OME shocks installed yesterday and WOW what an improvement. I don't know if the originals were that bad or OME are that good or both, but everything is working great. My suspension now has the travel that it needs with the TT. Before the factory shock was topping out, but not now!! OME.....Highly Recommended!!

What length did your order or did you just tell them they are for an Explorer? I am just wondering since I am ordering a set tommorow and I will have TT/shackles also.
