Awesome that is what my notes say, however they do have a "magnum" heavy duty shock for 67 bucks....I run lots of weight in the trunk and even with the PP shocks My s*** be drooping in the back, think the HD magnums would help or upset the apple cart?
I am looking into this again. I like what the Monroe magnums say but i have the PP and want it to work right too. Any opinions on rear shocks? Btw....is this something you can do on jack stands by self?
I would still stick with the Oem Motorcraft Non-painted shocks IMHO!
The rear shocks are much easier to install when compared to the fronts. I would say its probably feasible to install on stands and may be beneficial to have a HD Jack for precautionary measures. Z

As an update I will order the PP MC shocks, I have been in Naples FL since Sept taking care of Mom, had a stroke. So car has not been driven since I ruptured the shock and it leaking.
When I get back I will have them put on. Thanks for the help!
Sorry to hear about your mom. May she be blessed with a speedy and full recovery.
