RE: Time To Replace Shocks on My 2001 DII, But what Kind?
I was actually considering the OME spring and shock upgrade... I have 90k well maintained miles. I tend to go from one extreme to the other..from highway driving to mud and some moderate off-road use---I also tow a small 18ft powerboat and trailer with 2 motorcycles.. At one point I had spec'd out OME springs and shocks and rear spacers for a 1.75" lift, but never got around to getting it done. I just replaced all my rotors and pads and also had the from driveshaft rebuilt...so I figured I would do the shocks too.. Your thoughts?? Thanks!!!

Yes, at your mileage you are ready to change out the suspension, you are going to be in for a very pleasant shock wonce it is done, your truck will ride so much better. Go to this web site and read up a little on OME's, plan on the HD shocks and 751 front springs, I would then say you should pick the rear depending on your load requirements. Also, use hte OMR steering stabilizer, it is the best. https://www.expeditionexchange.com/ome/
If and when you get read to order the parts, let me know and I will put you in touch with a group that will give you the best pricing.

Great! Looks like i'm going to do the following..
(2) N115's
(2) N44's
(2) 751's
(2) 781's
(1) sd02
(Will these give me the same ride height?) I know when I had spec'd out some OME's before- the end result allowed me to use a slightly larger tire..
Oh, also have one other issue I am trying to resolve myself before having to take it to the dealer<cringe>..(Our local LR dealer wanted just over 1000.00 to fix the front drive shaft..!!! (I ended up pulling it myself and sent it out..they rebuilt the 2 U's and the CV, balanced for 150.00 - AND I had them put grease fittings on it..)
I have the following code P1590(with the TC/ABS/HD Lights on) It comes back as (P1590 ABS rough road signal circuit malfunction-- Hardware is OK, but SLABS ECU is sending an error signal )
Any insight?
Thanks a bunch!!
