Expy Air Suspension Conversion - Shock Question
front shocks - coilover vs. standard?
I have a 2000 Expedition Eddie Bauer 4WD with converted air-to-standard suspension. The front coil-overs that came with the conversion kit are Monroe Sensa-Trac 58518's. The problem is that these coil-overs raised the front 2" over stock, while the rear is at stock height.
My question is do I have to use coil-overs, or can I use standard shocks? The Monroe 58518 coil-overs are 19" uncompressed and 12" compressed. I need to find something 2" shorter. I just want to get it back to stock. I'm not interested in lifting it.
If coil-overs are required, then does anyone know of any adjustable coil-overs that actually lower (the Ranchos only lift)?
Thanks!
Mike
