ohhh ahhh, i want i want. how much did they end up costing you? Should they fit a 96? I think the shocks are the same but i don't know for sure. What should i search for to find them? I can't find them...

 

[Hartman]

They don't make them anymore. You can't find them because they're hard to find. BM got lucky.

Actually I am serious, from the Saleen Wing, RaceCraft Shocks, and a couple other things I have really been lucky on a few finds!

 

[Hartman]

Yes we know!

Sorry! Can't help my luck!

Someone help me find some good (non-expensive like not much more than 200 a set ) shocks for my ex... i've been looking for months... even if i sold it, the shocks are so bad it'd probably make the person not want it after a test drive.... everytime I find shocks i would be interested in (Bell tech, nitro slammers, toxic drop shocks, any type of sport/drop shocks) i can't find any applications for explorer. They always have ranger shocks, but I don't know if rangers and explorers have the same shocks?? help me find some stuff online

Hey Psychotic, if you haven't bought any shocks yet, just save beating your head against the wall about this and go to www.truckperformance.com and buy a set of Edelbrock Shocks for lowered Explorers. They are $70 each, and offer the best all around handling performance/comfort and for the price you can't go wrong, man! Trust me, look no further, do it, end the madness!

I always liked Gabrial for a very good inexpensive shock.

Are the Gabrial shocks you are refering to are for lowered X's like yours?

I lowered mine all around 2" and desperately looking for new shocks without spending $75 for IAS. I know they supposedly the best but I guess I could settle for second best for less money.

Thanks for the help...
