Description:
|
Monotube shock absorber providing the ride of a sports car instead of a sport utility vehicle.
MAXCOMFORT - larger bore size allows the shock to react quicker to bumps and the road creating the smoothest ride possible.
MAXENDURANCE - seamless, single-tube design keeps operating temperatures low under the most extreme conditions for optimum performance and long life.
MAXPERFORMANCE - high-pressure nitrogen gas and floating piston technology allow the shock to react faster than any shock on the market, giving the ultimate in handling and performance.
MAXSAFETY - sensitivity and quick response time keep the tires in contact with the road and maximizes braking effectiveness, keeping you in control.

Pros:

smoother handling over bumps and rough surfaces
|
|
Cons:
|
Lack of instructions, price and it comes with grade 5 bolts
|
|
The difference between stock and these is amazing. Granted my stockers had 100k on them but if you were to hit a pot hole at highway speeds, you would almost be redirected into another lane.
Now with these on, bumps almost disappear. Winter is hard on our roads but I don't feel it nearly as much anymore.
The one aspect that I did not like is the fact that they come with grade 5 mounting bolts. This was easy enough to cure by going to the hardware store and picking up some grade 8 hardware in the exact size as the ones provided.
Now that they are on the truck, I love them and will buy them again when the time comes.

Smoother Ride, Better high speed handling

No Directions, Low quality Hardware

I just put these shocks on the front of my Explorer at 114,000 miles. It still had the oem shocks on it which were completely shot. I have driven now almost 500 miles with these shocks, and I must say they have been the best 500 miles this truck has ever had. Smoother ride, and is more stable at highway speeds. I'm putting a set on the rear tonight. The only problem I encountered was the quality of the hardware. I stripped out one of the bolts and had to make a trip to the hardware store.
