shocks

Will the Monroe load leveling coil over shocks level out my back end with my 2" Tt up front

So, while up north hunting (well, more like on the way up there), I noticed that I had some cupping of the inside edge of my front tires. It looks like it has been going on for a while, but I never noticed it before because I do mostly city driving, thus the vibration and noise aren't prevalent...

Hi, I just joined the forum and really like reading the posts and the tips for maintenance on the Explorer. I have owned Ford 4x4 vehicles for about 10 years and have enjoyed them all. All cars have quirks and Ford is no different. I have meticulously maintained my 05 Exlorer since I...

after much deliberating, i finally ordered a set of much needed shocks for my 03 ST, i was torn between pro comp es 3000's, monroe senstracs, and skyjacker hydro 7000's. i do some mild off roading, but not any hardcore rock crawling, just going offroad to reach fishing, mountain biking and...

Alrighty so I was looking around the site to try and find an answer to my problem but I haven't found one. :( I bought Rancho 5000's from Summit Racing. My stock OEM ones have never been replaced and since I've lifted the Explorer they were fully extended; needed new ones. Anyways, I...

Come to find out my rear shock has had a broken upper bolt for the past month and is the reason ive been hearing a booming sound in my rear end when going over bumps. how easy of a fix is it? and is it safe to drive with it hanging there? i took the spare tire off so it shouldnt rub the body...

I'm looking into getting Rancho RS 5000's for my 97 AWD v8 EB. Their site gives me 2 options, one for a 1-2.5" lift and one for stock height. If i'm doing a 1.5"- 2" WAR-153 shackle and tt lift will the stock height rancho shock absorbers still work without issues? I'd like to order them soon...

I got a 1998 Ford Explorer XLT, 4.0L OHV 4wd. The shocks have gone kaput and I need to choose some new ones for all four corners. Now the extent of my off-roading is about 50% and consists of trails for hunting, gravel/mud roads for work, and the occasional fire-break on the spine of a mountain...

So I have been on this site for about 3 months now and have done a lot of research and this is what i have found for us 2nd gens. Okay to start. 2WD lift idea. 2.5" tt Good thread: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47345&highlight=tortion+twist Doetsh 3" lift...

Everyone talks about compressing their shocks to get them in, but my KYB GR-2's that I am told match my model (96 sport 2wd 4.0) are too short. I have to jack up the A-arm and the shock is still fully extended. I'm half tempted to attach the lower bolts and nuts then do the top...

The time has come to look at purchasing some shocks for my truck and wanted some input from the community. Current Vehicle spec, 2000 EB Explorer, TT, Warrior 153, 3"BL: Short term plans are to add Cragar Soft 8 15x8 RIMS and Goodyear MTR Kevlar 33x12.5x15 tires (pretty heavy tire package)...

Hey guys, looking for some opinions here.. It's time to replace the shocks on my 2000. Handling and ride quality have been steadily declining and the D/S rear looks like it's leaking, so I know where some of my tax return is going this year. I will also probably replace the '5th shock' in...

I would like to replace the rear shocks. It has an independent rear suspension. Where can I find the correct shocks/struts and Can It Be Lowered just a few inches front and rear?

Hey guys, first post! I've searched all over and don't seem to find anything similar. I had my buddy replace the lower ball joints, upper control arms, and all 4 new Monroe Sensatrack shocks. Body roll is waaaay reduced, which I really like. Lots more control. Ride is harsher than I...

I have a 98 Ford Explorer Limited sitting in my garage that I don't use. It has a V8 that runs great so I want to use it as a play vehicle when I take my boys camping, etc. Except for the "lean" it's in great shape. First of all it leans to one side, i've been told that the automatic air...

Proud inheritor of 98 Explorer XLT 4x4 V6 pushrod. Just had the shocks replaced with a nice set of Bilstein Heavy Duties. An absolutely amazing upgrade ($275 for all four from shockwarehouse), it got rid of sag in rear end and actually ended up lifting the truck perhaps a half of an inch or...

im getting a total of 6 inches of lift. (3"body and 3" add a leaf and spindles.) i need new shocks for the rear but i dont know which ones i need,? anyone help?

[/B]OK I wanna see how you guys did your rear shock mounts on your 8.8 spring over. Can you keep your rear sway bar in? I have 9inches total lift do i really need the rear sway bar? It has the death rock down the freeway. I can only guess what it will do if I take the sway bar out. Any and all...

lookin at getting some new sway bar bushings...will they help with handling at all or are they just worth it when mine really go bad??? also lookin for some new shocks, i was looking at procomp es3000's. suggestions???? i dd it to school and am looking to do some minor wheeling...

Hey guys, I've got an '02 Ex 4x4, and like alot of other guys with the '02's, both my rear springs are broken in multiple spots. I'm getting set to replace the rear springs as well as all 4 shocks. I've done some searching on the forum and have come up short with suggestions on what springs to...

i have a stock 1992 explorer 4x4 and i want to get it "fixed up" a bit i am a newbie and i dont know all that much about this yet.. can anyone help me out? can anyone do it for me for a cheap price...? im thinking something along the lines of a lift, suspension, and tires? anyone...

Just wanted to get rid of the message, but I will just say today I replaced the shocks on my explorer from stock to monroe's. Didn't make much of a difference, but its a bit smoother. c'est le vie!

okayy so im new to this.... i got a 99 explorer... 2wd, standard tranny. i cant find any suspension parts for it.... someone help!

I'm replacing all 5 shocks today and need to know if there are specific torque values for the nuts/bolts on them. Thanks for the help. (4.0 sohc)

I am just about done with this issue. I have replaced the entire front end using the info on this forum. Upper, lower ball joints and control arms, innner outter tie rods and even the rack and pinion. Just this weekend I replaced the shocks but still have this damn knocking in the front when...

Hey, I recently purchased a pair of Rough Country Nitro 9000 Shocks for the front of my 1998 Explorer AWD. I was just wondering if these are good off-roading shocks or not. Thanks:exporange

here is my front shocks. This pic shows the middle brace that holds the hoop bend for the dual shocks. You cant see it when you look at the shocks because it is behind everything.

This is a new pic of my front shock set-up with the resevoirs installed. IT looks so much better now.

this a photo of the back of my front shocks. IT shows the shocks and resevoirs also the S.S. braided lines.
