Question Recommended Shocks for Expy

What shock manufacturer and model would you recommend for a 2WD Expedition to firm up the ride and improve handling?
Thanks

Can't go wrong with Rancho, Bilstein, Edelbrock.

Personally, I've always been a Rancho guy.

1 vote for Bilsteins here. 40K miles and they're still as good as day 1.

Thumbs up Edelbrocks

MDWILLI-
As you can see in the thread, you have several options. This first upgrade I did on my 2000Expy was install Edelbrocks. I've had them for 3.5 years. Coupled with an rear anti-sway bar upgrade and poly bushing for the front, the shocks take out nearly all the lateral roll as well improve dampening.

I don't think you can with either Ranchos, Bilsteins, or Edelbrocks. It comes down to how you drive your truck (straight highway all the way to nutty off-road) that will determine your selection.

Good luck with your upgrade!
