shock recommendations?
My new 2001 F250 with 152,000 is still riding on its original shocks and I want to replace them. Does anyone have favorites? I'll be mostly on the road but a little off-road for camping and quad riding trips. In a quick browsing online I noticed quite a price range from $45 for Skyjacker Nitrogen 8000 to $70 for Blisters. Are they fairly easy to install? Any special tools required?

No special tools, very easy to install.
If you're spending any time off road I would go for the Bilstien 5100's, they are the best. Spendy, but worth the price. Second choice would be KYB's, a little less expensive but still good. I've run both setups and for my offroad vehicles (F250 & Jeep) it's Bilstien, for my F150 (road truck) I picked the KYB's.

I have the Bilsteins and they are OK but pretty stiff when the truck is empty. Definately helped with the leaning in the turns. If Im had to buy new now I would try the Rancho Xl9000. They are adjustable and i think that would be a great feature to try.
