Disable ARC & Replace Air Shocks
I have a 1996 explorer limited with the automatic ride control. I want to shut the automatic ride control off and replace the air shocks with good gas shocks. My question is if the mounts on the air ride and the regular shocks are the same. Has anyone done this here and what shocks did you use?
