theyre amazing. i feel like im driving a totally different vehicle now. on braking, my truck doesnt nose dive anymore. no more body roll in turns. and the ass end doesnt drop down when i accelerate now. the ride is much better.

if i had to describe it in one word, id say "tight." they 'tighten' up the ride significantly. the whole truck is much more responsive. in my opinion, theyre not cheap, but theyre well worth it.

how do they compare to the edlebrocks? (if youve ever ridden in an X with edlebrocks)
 






Also, how much were they per shock??

Slick
 






ive never ridden in an X with edelbrocks, sorry. they were $65 per shock from performance products.
 






I fitted Bils. about 40 k ago. They are still great. Big improvement over stock! Makes me wonder why Ford couldn't fit them standard. Oh yea, that would mean they were actually giving the customer something.
 






No it wouldn't, they would just triple the cost and apply it to the price of the Explorer:rolleyes:
