smoooth ride

I've decided to go on a mission. Its easy to read about people who turn their xplorers into monster trucks, but i decided to turn mine into a lincoln...as you can see, i've upgraded tires and shocks, trust me i keep it super tuned, and it still is rattle and squeek free. Heres my question..what upgrades would you suggest to further smoooth out the ride...lower control arm bushings, for example???Money is not limitless, but i can do anything in reason...dont laff too much guys, but i'm convinced most xplorers dont go off road...so why not lincolnize it???

Elaborate more on how you want it to feel. Less bumpy, better handling, cornering and leaning, etc.


There are alot of things to do to an X to make it 'ride' better - just depends on your driving style and how you want it to 'drive'...
