Which shocks?

It's time for new shocks. I'd like to buy these locally as I seem to make use of the lifetime warranty on shocks. Oreilly's has a buy 3 get the 4th free sale on Monroe and Rancho. Autozone has 20% off on bilsteins.

I'm unsure of which to get, specifically which ones will fit as all the brands mentioned have several choices. 2002 7.3 Excursion, I put v codes up front which lifted the front almost 2" if I remember correctly. I also put 4" F-350 blocks in the rear.

All three of those companies make several models of shocks with different valving for different ride charteristics.

Start with defining what you want then pick which brand you want.
Of course you will need to get the ones that fit.

I have the Blistein's on mine, great ride. The Blistein 5100 series comes in various sizes for your application, just contact their customer service with your ride height specs and they will assist you with the model #'s you need and then go ahead order them from your local Auto Zone. Good Luck
PS: don't forget your steering stabilizer while your at it.
