Title: xl-7 shocks?
Post by: kazuki on February 05, 2011, 10:44:51 AM

I've read some posts already but am still unable to get anywhere!  I have a 3 inch lift on an 04 xl-7 and was wanting to replace rear shocks with some bigger,  i read monroe pn#5861 would work, has anyone tried these yet?  any other suggestions would b great.

When I replaced my I used 1999 ford f-150 4x2 v6 rear shocks. This give me the max amount of flex with the springs not falling out. Do NOT use 4X4 shocks as they too long

I used gabriel equivelent to monroe #5681 and so far so good.  I haven't had them offroad yet but on road the feel right.

I have been wheelin the new shocks with no problems, they seem to perform well. I used them in deep snow with chains on the front and hill climbing and also mud, the only problem i have now is not enough ground clearance! We'll see if the boss will let me do anything else to "her Kazuki" haha.
