Replacing air ride shocks?
I have a 95 Limited with Air Ride Control. It has 130K and still has the original shocks. The shocks are not losing air but I can tell by the ride that the shocks are not doing thier job.
I have decided to replace the shocks myself. I have checked the manual and this really looks easy. Now I just need help picking the right shocks.
Monroe now makes a replacement for the Motorcraft that came on the Explorer. Rockauto has the Monroe for $160 and the Motorcraft for $192. I believe the only difference is the Monroe does not have the dynamic damping. I have read the manual and this seems like something I want.
My questions: Is the dynamic damping worth the extra $128? If you have installed the Monroe replacement, are you happy with them? Anything I should know before starting this?
thanks

I have searched the internet and the only info I can find on the ARC system is on the Ford service CD. I have also posted this question on other sites and still have not receive any kind of answer. I know others must have this system. Please help. I want to order the shocks this week.
