[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 528315, member: 56140"] TomT, I agree on the shocks. The Shocks were originally designed for the 4 door Explorer. Ford just continued using those. No biggie. Most people are happy with OE shocks. The Swaybar is a matter of opinion. I have the EE sway bar. Most 4 door pick-ups do not even have a rear sway bar. Imagine us not having one, then installing the OE style one. Would would be giddy with it's performance. It is all about perception. Brakes. Did you know the Trac's brakes are better then the others out there. The Trac stops faster then the Nissan Frontier, Toyota Tacoma, and Chevrolet S10. Only the Dodge Dakota was better. If you put a load on the back, the Trac stoped in the shortest distance. This is for 2001 models. You should only compare apples to apples. Toyota, Nissan, and GM all have new models out. It is unfair to compare the newest models with something that beat them years past. It would be like saying, Houses today have electric. When dad was a child, he did not have electric. Houses today are better then they were back when dad was a kid because they have electric. Never mind the fact nobody had electric back then. (At least in Southern Ohio where he is from) See my point? Tom [/QUOTE]
