Why Upgrade the Suspension on Your International Scout?
Upgrading your Scout’s suspension can make a significant difference in both comfort and control. Here are a few reasons to consider new shocks and steering stabilizers for your International Scout:
-
Improved Ride Comfort: Replacing worn shocks with new KYB or Rancho shocks reduces bounce and improves your Scout’s ride quality.
-
Better Handling: New shocks improve handling and stability, especially on rough roads or trails, making your Scout easier and safer to drive.

Off-Road Performance: If you take your Scout off-road, Rancho shocks and steering stabilizers are designed to withstand the rigors of tough terrains and provide excellent control.
Frequently Asked Questions About International Scout Shocks
How do I know if my International Scout needs new shocks?
If your Scout bounces excessively, feels unstable while driving, or has uneven tire wear, it may be time to replace the shocks.
What’s the difference between KYB and Rancho shocks for the International Scout?
KYB shocks are great for maintaining a comfortable ride similar to the original factory setup, while Rancho shocks are designed for off-road performance, offering rugged durability and enhanced damping.
Do I need to replace all four shocks on my Scout at the same time?
It’s recommended to replace all four shocks at once to ensure even wear and balanced handling. This is especially important if you're upgrading from older, worn-out shocks.
What are the benefits of installing a Rancho steering stabilizer on my International Scout?
A Rancho steering stabilizer helps reduce steering wheel vibrations and wobble, particularly when off-roading or driving with larger tires. It improves overall steering control and makes for a smoother driving experience.
Can I install shocks on my International Scout myself?
Yes, many Scout owners choose to install shocks themselves, especially with bolt-on replacements like those from KYB and Rancho. However, if you're not comfortable with suspension work, we recommend having a professional handle the installation.
What is the typical lifespan of shocks on an International Scout?
On average, shocks last between 50,000 to 75,000 miles. If you take your Scout off-road frequently, you might need to replace them sooner.
Are Rancho shocks good for both on-road and off-road use?
Yes, Rancho shocks provide a great balance between on-road comfort and off-road durability. They are ideal for Scout owners who use their vehicle for both daily driving and off-roading.
How do steering stabilizers help with larger tires on an International Scout?
Larger tires can create more stress on the steering components, leading to wobble or vibrations. A steering stabilizer helps manage that stress, providing smoother steering control.
Should I upgrade both my shocks and steering stabilizer at the same time?
Upgrading both your shocks and steering stabilizer together ensures that your International Scout’s suspension is fully optimized for performance, especially if you frequently drive off-road.
Are KYB shocks suitable for off-roading in an International Scout?
While KYB shocks provide excellent on-road comfort and control, for more intense off-road use, Rancho shocks may be a better fit as they are specifically designed for rugged conditions.
