- '98 XLT
I have a '98 XLT 4 Dr. that gets a lot of highway miles but also a lot of trail/gravel running thru the woods. I have about 10k a a set of Michelin LTX AT tires thanks to Ford/Flintsone. I picked the LT truck tires for the toughness after loosing three to sharp sticks left by the county cutting crews and other hazrads. I like the tires, they are great off road and in deep snow and stick real good on the pavement. They also feel like truck tires which is good. With the stock shocks, I can take a speed bump at 30mph in strid, gravel washboards are handlable, but every little crack or joint on the freeway is felt. I think the tire is actaully hopping. Its not a big deal, just annoying. My question is has anyone else solved that problem. Curantly I'm looking at Rancho RS9000s to fix it, but would like a simpler(cheaper) solution. I know I do need shocks I just want to pick the right ones.
