I went to order the Monroe 90010 kit today and wanted to go through a local parts store and I'm being told that the 250$ (approx) kit is 2 wheel only ..I really only need the front shocks but I'd buy everything if the price is decent..does anyone have info on that or the direct link on the exact kit..I tried anvanced and gave them a part number and told me it was for a door handle..so they're clearly *********...99 expy 4x4 5.4...I found that kit on amazon for 239 but noe confused as to weathers its 2wheel or 4..

It has been discussed that the front shocks in the conversion kit are the same as the rear shocks for a 1966 bronco, coilovers Monroe 58518.

You don't "need" the front kit!!!
I did mine on the rear only. Then I removed the air shocks and replaced with standard rear shocks from a 74-79 F-150. To level the ride I adjusted the torsion bars up.
Granted. the air ride t-bars are a little softer than a non air ride t-bar, but I have seen no issues whatsoever! Even towing my 24' travel trailer at 70+mph on the freeway.

tl:dr Install rear kit and swap front shocks and adjust the t-bars

why use a bandaid of coil over shocks on the front when you can put in standard or 7700 torsion bars?
