As the title suggests, I'm pretty certain I am going to dump my ARC system.
I have an entire new front end, new heavier duty leafs, and a replacement shock system from Suncore Industries. I dont believe the Suncore product are robust enough to handle weight in the explorer. I bounce around from side to side front to back when hitting speed bumps and entering driveways. Further there is more lean than I would like, etc etc. Torsion screws are cranked.
Rear seat folded down and I always have weight in the truck. My aim is for handling, cornering, and overall shock absorbtion when I hit the bumps of course. A friend has the Bilsteins in his Durango and when you hit a bump (even on a mountain road) its over... like that.. like nothing happened. I like that! I also may or may not want to lower the truck (never off road),
My idea so far (remember I always have weight in the truck)...
Bilsteins up front or all around ( http://www.bilsteincanada.com/produ...cts_id=2554&osCsid=iijjs9gfr9n4b0km6utp1ldnt7 )
Heavier Torsion bars (Help? part number? Link?)
Torsion Keys (one of these > http://www.suspensionmaxx.com/index...at_fl[]=2&feat_2[]=8&feat_fl[]=3&vm_mnuf[]=85 or http://www.airbagit.com/product-p/key-fr98drop.htm)
Monroe SensiTrac's in the rear (heard good things http://www.monroe.com/products/Sensa-Trac/Load-Adjusting-Shock-Absorbers )
I need feedback, suggestions, links, the works!
