[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 896903, member: 67547"] Ryan- Monroe Sensa-Tracs, front and rear, and a 3" Drop were the FIRST TWO mods I performed on my '05 XLS. (Pics in library) If you purchase te EE "X-Spec" Lowering Kit, the only difference would be that I used torsion keys in addition to the torsion bolt loosening. (Torsion Twist) I couldn't be happier with the VASTLY improved handling, BIG TIME. Ride comfort quality is unchanged, yet positive and sure. (Thanks, Dan Long) The other suspension upgrades that almost all Trac fanatics recommend are the Front and Rear End Link Kits and an aftermarket Rear Sway Bar. (Explorer Express or Addco) I would change them ALL over again, without hesitation, if I bought another ST. Improved the handling to a MUCH higher level, it's like driving a new "beast". My primary reason for the drop was ease of entry. The deletion of roof racks, step bars, and bed cleats, enhances the streamlining even more, IMO. The handling was a HUGE bonus. P.S.- I am using four Goodyear 225/75R16 "Wrangler ST" shoes that were new when I bought the ST at 46K. They are crap, to put it mildly. I "aim" for nails and road debris. LOL Can't imagine the benefits of changing to "quality" tires such as Michelin's or BFG's. P.S.S.- Sears has Monroe Shocks @ 50% Off SATURDAY ONLY FROM 7AM - NOON. Don't miss it, great deal !!!
