I have been driving it some "about 200 miles" and only bottomed it out one time. Not as much ride improvement as I had hoped for. It still has that "floating" feeling at highway speeds. The factory shocks had 43000 miles and did not feel worn out yet so I guess that is just how the factory suspension feels. If I get time I would like to swap some shocks and see if different shocks would change ride height or steering control.

I believe Monroe 33049 is the listing for the rear shocks so you could use them there. They will be too long for the front and I don't think you want gas filled for the front.

In the Monroe catalogue I believe your shock has an L1 top mount and probably S4 bottom mount. You should be able to find the right one by getting your compressed and extend lengths from the old one.

In the Monroe catalogue L1 and S4 mounting has a lot more to offer in sizing than L1 and L1.
