shock VS shock survey
First let me say Hello to everyone on this site, I am new to this site and love all the info that everyone has..
So Back to my survey, I have a 2000 x V10 4x4 and just turned 100000 miles and need to get some new shocks for it.
I use it for highway driving mainly and also somtimes pull a trailer with a bobcat T190 trackloader.
I am looking for the best all around shock to replace the stock ones. I dont need all the bells and whistles just a good shock.
Thanks In Advance For All Your help

Autozone carries Bilstein Shocks now and they are only 4 bucks higher and you walk out the door with them. Expect to pay around 69 bucks for them. There are only 2 types of shocks listed for an Excursion, these and performance. Performance shocks are listed as Elderbrock shocks and are 75 bucks each. Actually 3 types are listed but I never even consider the $31 light duty shocks for a vehicle this size. Performance usually means that the shock is stiffer and cuts into ride quality. Andy

I bought the Rancho 9000's. I love them. You can either ride like a Caddy or like a big truck.

I would suggest any adjustable shock. They will cost more but you can change the ride as needed. I am currently using ProComp MX 6 adjustables and I am very happy with them. I heard rancho has a nice set of adjustables also.

Man, they are pricey but I have the Fox remote res. shocks and they are perfect. Not to soft and not to rough.
Just for the record I had Edelbrocks IAS (they were mentioned, though I don't know if they have an app. for the Ex) and they were a waste of money. Plus after a year and about 8k miles they were done. Never again.
