First post. (woot, woot)
Being a VW nut (my dad, grandad and uncles all grew up working in the VW factory in Germany), I love Bilstein shocks. Have proven their worth on several past vehicles and hundreds of thousands of miles.
I just picked up a 93 Explorer XLT which does the bouncy shimmy jive step every time I hit a bump on the freeway. I want to upgrade the ride by a lot and it seems that the Bilstein 4600s are the best replacement shock for a non-lifted stock suspension. Tragically they don't make a rear shock (checked with the NC headquarters).
Does anyone out there have any experience with Billy 4600s on a 91-94 Explorer? If so, what did you pair them with? I'm thinking maybe the KYB Gas-a-just or Monomax. People who are worried about a stiff ride should relax. I know from experience that Bilsteins soften out beautifully after between 5K and 10K miles and then go on lasting forever.
Really just need to know what a good rear shock is for a stock suspension.
