Automatic Ride Control

[Concept156]

Question: I just got a Chilton's Manual for Explorers, and it said before you jack an Explorer with Automatic Ride Control off the ground, you need to turn the ARC off with the ARC service switch. Where is this switch?

Where your jake handle, jack compartment is. Drivers side. upper corner.

Thanks! One more question. I just took it in to get the front shocks replaced, and they said it would be $550 in parts alone. That is for 2 shock absorbers that work with the automatic ride control. Is there anywhere I can buy those cheaper? I really don't want to spend $700 on OEM shocks...
