Hey Guys,
New to the forum... just bought me an 03 Explorer 4.0 XLT AWD w/ 90k miles. Liking it so far. The transmission problems i've read about are starting to scare me but so far mine seems to shift smooth.
However it rides a little rough... no broken springs yet but it could definitely use some new front springs, i'm on the fence about the rears. Maybe i'll buy all 4, change the fronts and see how it affects things.
I'd like to get some stock replacement springs that keep the ride height the same or possibly lower it an inch or so... any recommendations?
Are the Monroes good? Is there a noticeable difference between the econo ride and the step up offering from them?
i did do a search before posting this, a few searches actually but i didn't find any conclusive spring/strut reviews, mostly people talking about how much it raised the ride or how the rears were raised more then the front with some of strut/spring combos.
