Hi,
Around Christmas I put on 4 gabriel VST shocks at Pep Boys and I'm not impressed at all.
I have a 1.5" TT/Shackle lift with some larger tires.
I want to replace these Gabriels because I love my explorer but I am at the point where I hate driving it because I bounce so much. (Yes I know its an suv)
I had a '94 sport and it was not NEARLY this bad.
So I'm just going to splurge and buy some new REAL shocks.
I ABSOLUTLEY NEVER offroad. Strictly street explorer.
I hear the Edelbrocks are really good for street explorers and the ranchos are more for offroading.
I can get 4 rancho 9000 for $230 total or get 2 Edelbrocks for about $175 total.
If I got the 2 Edelbrocks I'd just leave 2 of the Gabriels on there.
Which seems like a better plan?
Any other ideas or information is welcomed! I'm desperate!!
Thanks,
Grantp
