Which shocks for my Lifted '01 explorer sport?

[CNW]

First i would like to say i just joined this forum and its awesome!

I just recently purchased a 2001 ford explorer sport 2wd with a camburg lift on it. My rear shocks (bilsteinf4-b46-1569-h1) have went bad and i was curious what i should replace them with? Should i go with a more heavy duty shock or longer? Im new to lifted vehicles so im not sure what i should replace it with....Thanks for your time

Can I lift my 96 ex with just shock absorbers?

If so what type? I want around 2" lift

I have already don't 2" TT/ aal&shackles.

Thanks all,

Jake

Not to my knowledge. Shocks don't lift

Rear yes. MANY have installed Monroe 58617 Load Adjusting shocks reporting 1" to 1.5" of added lift depending on how weakened or flattened their rear leaf springs were. IMO, one of the best suspension bargains for around $90 per pair shipped. Haven't seen anything similar for the front. Search, many threads on this forum. Here's just one with a few pics.

Do you mean flattened rear leafs from say my extended shackles that I put on that are making my leafs nearly flat?

If I put those shocks on you are saying that it would make them bend up a little more?

Or am I lost?

Haha

Thanks again,

Sorry, read that as you DON'T have a TT, AAL, and shackles. Spring shocks in addition to the AAL and shackles sounds like way too much.

I'm lowered, wait for some of the lift experts to chime in. GL
