97' F-250 Shocks

I'm looking for adjustable height shocks in order to level my truck. I know bilstein makes some but not for my truck. I'm probably going to be doing so off-roading and plowing, as well as every day driving. Anyone know any good adorable options? A link would be much appreciated.

Why not look into leveling springs?

Agreed. Decent shocks with leveling springs up front would be more what you're looking for. Keep in mind your original leaves are likely a bit sacked, especially on a plow truck.

I'm unaware of any load bearing shocks for these trucks. It's not a coil over setup, as on a modern half ton, where you can put on Bilstein 5100's for an adjustable level with good ride.

With a plow mount, I can't take your offroading comment too seriously though.

The shocks aren't the place to look for load leveling. Buy a set of air bags front and rear. Both Airlift and Ride-Rite have kits for both axles.
