Alright Boys here is another one. My truck seems to be riding rougher than when I got it. Whats a good aftermarket replacement for the stock shocks? Thats not to expensive by the way.....

 

Rancho's are fairly inexpensive.

RS5000, cheapest, no adustments, way better than ford stock, love the handling, its what i have.

RSX, self adjusting, people say its a little more comfy and not as stiff at RS5000. but costs a little more

RS9000x, adjust 9 levels yourself. I guess its important if you want to be in a caddilac, or just tow a lot.

You can also go with Monroe SensaTracs. If your going cheap but comfy, your only two choices are RS5000 and Sensatrac. I do believe the RS5000's last longer.

Are you sure it's your shocks? Did you jump up and down on your door step and see if it stops swaying after a second or two? Perhaps you recently changed tires that have more sidewall belts, which would cause a stiffer ride. Tire air pressure has alot to do with that also.

If it is the shocks and your looking for a cheap replacement than ProComp makes a shock that cheaper than the rancho and is supposed to be very good. Here's a link

32 bucks each.

As Tom mentioned, any change in tires? Different construction (LT -vs P-metric) can, and will make a difference. So does tire pressure.
If it is shocks, I replaced all four with Monroe Sensa-Tracks. Very happy with them. They are a larger capacity as compared to stock and carry a lifetime warranty. So, if they wear out, you get new ones free.

 

Can't beat that deal with a stick!!!!

 

N o I have had my tires for a year now, just doesn't ride as smooth anymore..Atleast I don't think. I aslo need to get my clutch looked at. otherwise my truck still runs great...Interesting information on the shocks..thanks guys
