Been meaning to post an update for a while. After adding the rubber springs, the ride was a little less controlled and a little bouncy, not jarring like it was, but still warranted some attention. Last spring, I added stock rear shocks, and a rear Roadmaster sway bar. Got the shock brackets from Findit parts and eBay, shocks from Amazon, and the sway bar from E-trailer. it took weeks to track all this stuff down, good thing some of the parts are interchangeable with the 4300 series.

1- NAVISTAR 3601127C1 - INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT SHK ABSBR
1- LH LOWER SHOCK ABSORBER BRACKET FORD / INTERNTIONAL TRUCK 19AL1-AZ (not positive of this part number)
2- NAVISTAR 473289C1 - INTERNATIONAL BRACKET SHOCK ABS
2 - Monroe Shocks & Struts Magnum 66924 Shock Absorber
1- Antisway Bar RM-1179-110-00

I had trouble finding the lower shock mounting stud, finally just used an aftermarket one and cut the metal spacer down a little on the shock to fit. Plan on replacing the Monroe stocks with King shocks this spring, will revisit it then.

Note a spacer will need to be made to mount both the shock brackets and sway bar mounts under the axle. Its visible in some of the pictures. The u-bolts are just long enough to allow it to work. The rear most sway bar backets came to exactly the same points on the frame as the rear leveling jacks, it was a little tight getting the bolts etc in there.
