Bilsteins if you can get them, a good economical shock would be some Pro Comp ES3000's, they run about $31 a shock. the Billies are around $75 per shock.

found these on ebay for ya!!

Pro Comps are very good for the money. ES3000s are fine for most stuff, 1000s if you want tough shock but a street smooth ride, and you can get 5000s I think that are on the stiff side for my taste. If you catch it at the right time you can get them 4 for the price of 3 over at http://www.4Wheelparts.com

I am guessing that the Explorer 1,3,5000 series is for the rear?
I dont have my truck yet and I see the fronts appear different than the image on this dot com site.....
Nevermind, now I see the front/rear sets for sale as a set. :oops:
These bolt right into the LUV set-ups?

Using Explorer Pro Comp ES3000. Full set with shipping $89. No problems on/off road. Little tight not like riding on air, yet the support is there!
