Help with Shocks
I have a 1995 F150 with the 4.9L I6. When I bought the truck a few years ago the the shocks were completely shot. I replaced the front coil springs with heavy duty springs and fitted some Monroe Shocks. It's been 2 years and only about 17k miles and the shocks are pretty much worthless now. The truck dives in corners and bounces like I'm dribbling it down the road.
I want the truck to be firm and don't want to blow through shocks in 2 years again. What are some good heavy duty shocks that can handle the stiffer springs?

Bilstein HD 4600. Get some Energy Suspension poly sway bar bushings (add the sway bars if you don't have them), radius arm bushings, and axle pivot bushings while you're at it. It will feel like a different truck.
