Just saw it in this weeks Autoweek -- an ad saying they are now available --

I have had both the Bilstein and Edelbrocks on a 2001 Supercrew -- (yes I have had two of them) -- Bilstein firmer - much much better tower --- Edelbrock 1/2 way from Bilstein to original equipment ride - handled big bumps and potholes better --- both provided much better motion control than stock --

FYI one of the F150's at 24k had two of the shocks that were gone

 

I very recently ordered and installed the Blistens on my 04 FX4, man what a difference from stock. Alot smoother and bump recovery is excellent. Im sold on these now. The OEM shocks arent ranchos anyway, just a real cheapo unit, mine are in the landfill now with only 5k miles on them.

 

Hows the cornering and handle ?? same as OME shocks?? where did you get it from? price?

Thanks!

YO-

cornering and handleing are excellent! you can get them at: www.performanceproducts.com

 

Awesome!

Is it yellow monotube or silver ??

Does Bisetin shock came with coil for front?

Thanks!
YOMAN!

 

Yo to YO,
I got the Yellow Bilstiens but the you still use the stock spring on the front.Try them you will love the ride and handleing!

 

ok finally question, how the heck did you remove coil off from shock? maybe write some step to step so other view will read and learn how to's ??

if i order it, i ll clean it and paint it black

Big thanks!
YOMAN!

 

Bilstein is making a full on coilover for these trucks, (held one in my hand at SEMA this year) the bad part as I was told by the head marking person is that they are probably 6-8 months from being ready for production and sale.

 

industrialjunk,

It sure sounds sweet but isnt for lift suspension only ??

Thanks!
YOMAN!

 

This brings up a related question, and possibly a dumb one, havent really thought about it yet...is the ride quality of a shock affected by a leveling kit? I am getting a kit for Xmas and like the thought of the bilsteins down the road, but should I consider other shocks with the leveling kit? I think I am getting the protechezlift 2.5" kit.

 

Not realy. It's a stock length shock with adjustable coil so you might get 2 inches more lift if you cranked the coil down more.

 

Yo, this is from ford manual:

Front Suspension — 4x4
