New Shocks

Is there a consensus on which brand of shock to put on the X?

Re: New Shocks

Yes, non-OEM. [img]images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Bilstein, Edelbrock, or Rancho. I have the Rancho RS9000's because I like the option for adjusting the shocks (particularly for when I tow). If I had the in-cab controller, I would adjust the shocks more frequently.

Re: New Shocks

Hey Washguy, which Bilsteins and where? Eshocks rep called the company and told me they were different on the '02's!!! Did you use the ones listed for 00-01?

Thanks for any help, this boat needs outriggers!

Re: New Shocks

Another opt. is the Monroe Reflex (only the Reflex), it's kinda new but designed for the problems the EX has. They are priced right and have the life warr. like every one else. Monroe has the 4 for 3 sale often. I have Bils, but would have tried them on my 01 EX if they would have been availble. I sold Monroes & Gabriels in my shop for years with no problems. cliffsurfs

Re: New Shocks

From a previous post of mine:

If anyone wants to order the Hellwig's rear sway bar for a 4x4 Excursion, give Cathy a call at 815-667-7865. She works for J.C. Whitney in their special orders department. Her work hours are 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday, Central Standard time. She does have a direct line. If you get the voicemail, please leave me her a message and she is good about returning messages. The Hellwing part number for this part is 7643 and I paid about $125. Shipping time was about a week. Cathy was a very nice and helpful person to deal with.
Hope this helps,
John [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
