My Explorer rocks like a ship . I often ride off-road. When searching for shock-tips, i've found following tip:
"After you replace the shocks, you can also improve the ride by removing the bottom overload leaf on the rear of your Explorer to soften the spring rate. This will help eliminate the side to side rocking you get when going up/down a diagonal surface. It will drop your rear-end by about1/2" and reduce your load carrying ability a little, but it will dramatically improve the ride quality without any expense to you. "
- Did anyone have exploratins on these ?
Another stupid question:
-What is the "bottom overload leaf" and where can i find it (I have problems to translate it in an equivalent german term)
-Which where the best shocks for mostly off-road (Bilstein Edelbrock Rancho / gas or oil-shocks ?) ?
- My 95 Eddie Bauer seems to be very low on ground. how can i see, if someone have lowered it ?
thanks for all answers
