150K miles and time to replace my shocks

[mwweimer_2001]

My truck finally rolled over to 150K miles last night on the way home from work. I wish I had a camera for that moment, but oh well. What type of maintenance should be done at this many miles?

Also, I know I need to replace my shocks. Any suggestions for brand/type to look for? I'm not looking for super heavy duty off-road shocks, but I don't want bottom of the line cheapo shocks either.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

A lot of guys have the Rancho RS5000 found here: http://www.gorancho.com/shock_lookup.php?cat=shock&year=2005&make=FORD&model=Explorer+Sport+Trac+&drive=4WD&height=Stock&submodel=All+Models&x=51&y=6
I got them and love them. I think they are about middle range price wise, but good quality. I got mine for about $120 a pair at Pep Boys.

I am a Pro Comp or better yet Bilstien fan.

Bilstein or KYB. I love my Rancho RS5000s but I bought them as off road shocks.

If you're on stock shocks, you're about 149,999 miles overdue. You'll be amazed at how much better the ride is no matter what shock you go with.
