I ordered mine from Summit Racing. There's also a sponsor on this site that has a discount.

If the bolts are corroded or damaged during removal, replace them. The hardest shock to replace is the driver's rear due to cramped working conditions. The whole job can be done in a couple of hours with hand tools and a jack.

I'll 2nd that....Driver's side rear was a pretty good test of patience. The other three took no time at all. Prolly spent about an 1 1/2 hours total, including clean up and beer break! LOL!

Any tips on replacing the rear shocks on a 2000 Expedition 4x4? I know that the rears are harder to get to.
Also I dont have Air Springs.
Thanks ~Gage~
