No rear shocks?

Hey guys I have a question, on my 2000 Expedition XLT Sport 4x4 I dont have any rear shocks all I see is springs and a track bar, my truck doesnt have air springs eather. How can this be? The truck runs great on the expressway. Thanks ~Gage~

Are you sure? Maybe someone took them off and never re-installed them. Can you take a few pix?

WOW!!.....

can't even imagine that riding very good... it doesn't feel like a carnival ride? "bouncing"?... love to see some pics... how long have you owned it?

i want to live where you live, because you must not have pot holes, railroad tracks, whoopty doos, steep driveway interchanges etc.... all those would make that thing bounce like a pogo stick i would think...

keep us posted.......

What kinds of shocks should I get to replace the stock ones?
I was looking at Bilstein brand. What do you think.
Thanks again ~Gage~

Bilstein's are by far the best IMO. For me and my wallet situation at the moment though, I'm thinking of a temporary fix and getting some $22 (each) KYBs!

Definately Bilsteins. They'll pay for themselves in the long run.
