Shocks
My rears are shot...really shot. I've experienced KYB MonoMax and Bilsteins in SUVs and would go with either...what is the best place to buy these parts these days? Zero lift, 1999 5.4L Exped 4x4.

I'm going to try replacing just the rears and see if that fixes my driveability issues before I go doing the fronts, which right now feel fine.

Find a part #, then enter it into google....you should find what you're looking for.

FWIW, I'd do the fronts too....you'll be amazed at the difference in steering feel.

I ordered mine from shockwarehouse.com with no problems about two years ago. You could also try shox.com. and like buzzard said, the difference is amazing

Go with the Bilstein on all four. You also might want to add a beefed up rear stabilizer. It cut down the roll significantly.

Tire Rack has shocks too. I ordered Bilsteins which arrived quickly. They work quite well.

If you have LLS, would you stick with the OEM replacement shocks? The front one incorporates the air suspension function.
