F150 4x4 Lariat Super Crew 5.0 L V8
I always buy the wrong parts
When I order parts what should I specify
because there always seems to be several choices

Forgot to ask the question
So I want to buy new rear shocks, basicaly OEM type
What should I be buying thats OEM and cost effective
Thanks

 

First thing is what year do you have and what motor size?
There is no 5L between 97 and 2003.
If you can't tell a parts counter what you have, they can't guess either.
Good luck.

 

2001, Triton V8 maybe a 5.4L

 

If you have a V8 you either have a 4.6 or a 5.4.
The VIN of your truck and the codes on the sticker that's placed at the driver side when you open your door should give plenty of info.
