New Shocks
I have an 03 F-250 5.4 and it's time to replace the shocks all around. I have found a skyjacker set for right around $40 a shock or some Rancho's that are around $90. I know Rancho's parent company designs the oem stuff for the super duty's but are they worth the price. My truck rides on a stock suspension and I almost never go offroad. I was just wondering what you guys where using and if they are good/bad shocks.

I've never been a fan of Rancho no matter what the vehicle.
IMHO, for off road Bilstein's are about the best, for street I am partial to KYB, especially for the Ford trucks. I had KYB's on my F150 and loved them.

FYI I DID NOT care for the 5000 series, tried them twice on 2 Ford trucks, spend the extra, get the 9000 series.

Monroe
Can't really debate here since I have no clue about the "nice" shocks. My truck is coming up on 200K and I wasn't looking to put much in it. I purchased the Monroe GasMagnums and they are much better than the stock. Then again, I bought the truck with 180K and the original shocks, so my "original" might not be the best.
I can tell you that I ordered all four and they were a little over $100. I am completely satisfied with them too.
