Air Suspension Conversion
I just had my suspension converted on my '99 Navigator. I ordered the Monroe 90010 kit from Amazon and had my mechanic install it. I opted for the Expedition kit because I had read that the kit specified for the Navi left the truck lower than stock ride height with the air suspension, and that the converted rear height was a little lower than the front. I didn't want to look like I was sagging in the rear, so I went with the Expy kit.
I'm really glad that I did. At first look, the rear sets higher than the front. I like the rake it has now. And the ride is smoother than it ever was, even when the air suspension was still working. For the money ($255 for the kit on Amazon, with expedited shipping) it was a great value...well worth the research I did both for the correct kit from Monroe and choosing the Monroe kit over the Strutmaster kit. My mechanic charged me for 4 hours (but his shop rate is only $65/hr), so his portion was $260. $515 for the total conversion...score! I've only had the truck since noon yesterday, but drove around town for errands, etc. for almost 4 hours. I'm so happy with the results of the conversion and the fact that I'll never have to mess with the air suspension ever again. I've been off the forum for a long time, but viewing posts of how other members used the Monroe kits really helped me with my final decision.
