Time for new struts/suggestions?

[StevieSmooth]

13 SHO PP , wondering if anyone has any suggestions for front struts. Not opposed to staying stock or going aftermarket. I've seen them lowered a bit and I like both stances. Not sure if any differences with factory performance package or not. Just started the search and figured I'd throw a line out here first as I'm sure someone on here has been down this road! Thx!

I have been playing with the same question - great site is https://www.unleashedtuning.com/

Put your model in and see what they have - prices are really great including those H&R springs.

Also - though a different vehicle - here is a write up from the prolific @Ecoboost_xsport

My suggestion is if you are pulling down the struts and shocks get new rubber grommets and boots

Improving the Suspension by Upgrading to Bilstein B6 Shocks and Struts [Step-By-Step Guide]

At the time of this write-up, the highest performance shocks/struts available for the Explorer platform are the Bilstein B6 model line. It is a step up from the Bilstein B4, which is their OEM replacement line. I finally got them installed after a nearly 6 month wait for one last front strut...

Don’t go cheap

Just bought everything to redo all suspension and all replacement parts, bolts, nuts, strut brackets and PP struts, also H&R coils with Monroe severe duty shocks with new whiteline sway bar.

This forum is littered with people who go coilover or if non PP to PP struts or like me replace the ford PP struts but lowering the springs.

Going in on Dec 1st.

Ordered some new hood struts today from Tasca and noticed the front struts were only $104 to $109 depending on which side. That seemed like Deal for PP and police struts

I picked mine up a few bucks more from fordpartsgiant.com I enjoy American made car parts, innexpensive.

Well to @Ta2dResqr point - cross posting just makes it harder for people reading a thread to get to the info they think is in the thread. I know @Boochy47 it seems trivial - BUT I do read threads on forums like Forscan - or ecoboostperformance I start to read a thread and they get hijacked. I am trying to find an answer - and now the whole group is posting about something different. Just start a new thread - or better yet read @SM105K maintenance thread - his first posts talk about quality oils.

bilstein does not show anything currently. i would call them up and inquire. we have been using them in our edge groups and have a very high satisfaction rate. no assemblies tho.

I had heard not saying I know... That edge Bilstein work in Taurus..... Once again just something I picked up another forum I believe. Unless Bilstein will guarantee the fit I wouldn't order it on a lark.
