thats great, thanks a lot.

nevermind about the tire question. i found my answer :D

cheers mate! that looks like a lot more work than i can handle! i know the load adjusting shock is only for the rear but was wondering if there was something similar for the front? my concern is that the rear isn't really sagging, so if i do get the 1 1/2 inch of lift in the rear like dcdyd did...

did you put them in the front too? i know the front and rear are different, just wasn't sure if the i could expect the same result if i changed all four. i don't think the rear is really sagging, it might be i guess but i would like to make sure the truck is level when i'm done...

any ideas on the tire question i posed?

can you explain in a little more detail about the lift block?! i'm a complete idiot when it comes to vehicles! i can't be bothered with the shackle extension.. i was just hoping that i could get a little lift out of the new shocks i had to install anyway.

thanks. i'd also read the monroe sensa-tracs will add a little lift, especially in the rear... can anyone confirm this? :thumbsup:

i definitely need to replace the shocks on my '96 explorer and the tires will probably need to be replaced by the beginning of winter... so, my question is twofold: 1. are there any shocks out there that would give me a small lift? i'm not interested in a lift kit etc, just wondering if i...

thanks all! i think the thermostat is next on the list! does anyone have a guide [preferably including pics] they could point me toward? again, thanks for the suggestions. :thumbsup:

thanks mate but thats not the issue... the main issue i'm trying to fix is the fluctuating temp gauge. i have burped the system to the point that the hose doesn't do that any more [apparently its a common issue after refilling the radiator?] but the gauge still swings from just above c to just...

seriously, no help here?! as i don't seem to be able to get any advice, i'll figure it out by myself. :rolleyes:

hmmmm, no ideas? update: after refilling the coolant and following the directions in the owners manual about refilling the cooling system, i ran the engine for 5+ minutes with the radiator cap turned back one "notch". as the temperature rose, the reservoir filled almost to the top and then...

firstly, this site is fantastic! i've already resolved [i think!] at least one of my issues based on info i found here. so, heres my next problem.... last week, i picked up a 96 explorer xlt with 130k miles on it and the truck is in great shape, except for a few annoying problems. long story...
