I have about 60K on my X and was looking to install some new shocks. I have the Ground Force lowering kit already installed and was looking to put in some Monroe Reflex's. Anyway...I have done shocks on an E30 BMW and E36 M3 - nothing on a truck though. Does anyone have a write-up, photo install, link etc?
 






If i'm not mistaken the 3rd gen has coilover shocks. This would require you to take apart the coils/shocks to replace just the shocks. You might want to search on this site for info. I would probably have a shop do it for me, as i probably don't have the tools required to do this at home. Good luck.
