sorry, another shock question help!
i know the broncos are short wheel base and that effect the ride but here in louisana the roads are c@%p! i'm not sure whats on mine now except they are yellow,has no identification. would like info on some shocks that may help smooth the ride some my teeth fall out after a 15mi ride. this is a stock 95 bronco with all terrain 30x9.5 and i do some offroading nothing serious and not alot. plus the budget does have a limit thanks for anyones input.

Sounds like you may have some Monroe Gas-Magnums on there right now. If the ride is too firm, try the Monroe Sensa-trac. It gives you a smooth ride under normal ride conditions then stiffens up if you drive the truck hard off road. The Sensa-Trac has some type of special valving inside that provides a dual purpose. Stay away from junk like Gabriel. HTH.

You have a quad shock setup on there right? Thats what siffens the ride a little bit. I don't have the quad shock setup, and went from worn out stock shocks, to Rancho RS5000s and was suprised how much a shock can stiffen the ride.
Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds
.
That's it for mods now, saving for a Stang. Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

I do like the shocks. I liked them because the price was right and they have a great reputation. I was going to buy some monroe reflex shocks but they were around 50-60 a piece. Ranchos were 35 a piece.
