Any shock suggestions?
I was going to replace my shocks all the way around.
Does anyone have any brand or type suggestions?
I'm not looking for a lift, and I don't do much towing or heavy hauling.
Just wanting a smoother ride!
THANKS

Monroe Reflex, same as the Rancho RSX. (Same company, built at the same plant in Nebraska).
Edelbrock IAS.
All 3 have an internal impact valve that opens and lets off extra pressure when you hit a hard bump. Smooths out the ride.
Very few negative comments. Everyone seems to like them.
Some people think that the Bilsteins are a little too harsh. Others swear by them.
The Monroes are available at Sear and NTB. Something like $60 each installed.

I think Monroe Reflex is the way I will go. I visited the Monroe website today and they recomended Reflex or Sensa-Trac but from what I've been reading on this forum, F150's are too heavy for Sensa-Trac's.
I found Reflex's today at O'Rielly's for $36.99 a shock DIY.
It sounded like a good deal, NAPA wanted around $45.
I think Sears was about $60 installed but it's a pretty easy job as long as you pre-soak your bolts.
THANKS
