help ride comfort

I have a 07 f250, and lately the ride is getting rougher..., I was thinking of replacing the coils, with new, new shocks, I just figured almost 10yrs, with the heavy motor on them, that they are just getting worn, I love the truck just the ride quality isn't what it use to be, am I heading in the right direction

Sounds like you are to me. I just posted a thread about this leveling kit, could be a good time to upgrade while your in there. OEM springs are alittle over 100 each. This kit will level your tuck, should improve ride quality, and comes with new shocks. Springs work out to be the same $ as oem

Bilstein F4-SE5-C765-H0 5112 Series High Performance Leveling Kit

Have a look at your body mount bushings also, seen several on here including myself show that they are completely worn out. I know that's a big factor to my poor ride quality at the moment.

I'd start by just replacing the shocks and see what you end up with. Lots of guys like the adjustable rancho's rx 9000's and bilstien 5100's. The stock shocks are junk when there new you wouldn't be the first one that took the shocks off and the don't even try to rebound back.

I was thinking of the bilstein 5100, or the fox 2.0, never thought of the body mounts gonna look at them this weekend, but I don't want to lift or level, wanna stay stock, already did 1 size bigger on tires and thats enough for me, but definitely gonna look into shocks 1st thanks
