New shocks?
I need new shocks for my 87 F1 50. My question is if I am planning on adding a leveling kit on the front down the road will stock shocks work? Or do I need to buy different shocks for the kit?

You don't want to be maxing out the shocks, keeping something like an inch of over travel is probably a good idea.

Yes the leveling kits I have been looking at are around the one and a half inch range.
Doostien thanks for the tip on checking the over travel. That makes sense.
TexasGuy thanks for the suggestion on the Monroe gas magnum shock. What leveling kit have you used in the past? Coils is exactly what I was planning on.
Anyone else have any suggestions on the brand and type of shock. This truck will be 99% highway miles so a comfortable ride is what is important. Not off road.
