Shock question.
Replacing my shocks is on the list of things to do soon. I’m driving a 95 f150 2wd 351w and I want to put the best shocks I can on there. It’s only a street truck. Maybe take it down a few back roads but never off-roading really. I found some options in coilovers I want some opinions on. One of those options had a review saying it made the guys truck feel like a bounce house but another option of coilovers had nothing but good reviews. I’m not dead set on coilovers I just think they look cool but I don’t wanna have any clearance issues with the front spring. Rear coilovers kinda make since. I just want to hear what everyone thinks and recommends. Thanks

these fox shocks are the same specs as the Bilsteins. So I figured if I can afford it, why not buy them if you think they look cool. Unless someone tells me they won’t fit, I want to buy them. I think they look amazing

For the people that have not looked at the part numbers above, they are not coil overs and I don’t plan to use coil overs. That was just a thought.

Bilstein shocks are good too.
Either one is great and if you want eye catching get a funky colored boot to run on them and even some strange colored eye bushings too.
Good luck.

That specific shock is listed for fitting vans, not trucks that I saw.
I wouldnt spend 170 a shock unless it had a remote reservoir. Even that isn't necessary unless you're baja-ing the truck.
Rancho 9000 series are a sweet silver color as well as the Bilsteins. They both work great and are far cheaper then that fox shock.
