I have the Rear ARC air suspension on my 2001 5.0 Limited.
I need to replace the rear shocks since as of 120,000 miles later they are toast.
I am getting Bilsteins shocks up front and the 5th shock will be a Bilstein as well.
Should I replace the rear air shocks with those Monroe Air shock replacements or ditch the whole air system all together and get the Monroe load leveling shocks (the ones with the coil-springs)?
I ask because I like simple mechanical parts, but I do tow a lot and the rear sag without air in the shocks, so I need one or the other for replacements (I'm assuming)?
Thanks all.
