Shocks

Tthe shocks on my 01 Explorer Sport shot. It rides very rough and I can't stand it. It is a daily driver that is all. What is the best shocks to buy without breaking the bank.

Ask ten people and you can get ten different answers on this one. Me I went cheap and got Monro gas matics from Sears at 50% off. Cost all of $70 for all four. The ride is as good as it was when new.

Monroe Reflexes or SensaTracs or KYB GR2's are all reasonable and ride well.

Any one of the shocks already mentioned are good. I am a Bilstein person myself.

I'm running with KYB GR2's on my 98 Sport, and my sisters 02 Sport has the same ones, got them for just over $100 for the set.
