Front Shocks
Ok having one hell of a time finding front shocks for my 76 f-100 4x4 with front springs eye to eye type shock. Don't want to do a 2"or 4"lift kit just to put shocks on, kinda over kill in my opinion. Any help would be appreciated

Did someone change something on your truck? Different shock mount or an adapter? I thought all the 4x4s had eye bottom/stud top type shock.

I am in the same boat trying to locate some stock (no lift) front shocks.

I'm restoring 1974 f-100 4x4, here is some of my research that I got from this site:
- 1966/76 F100 4WD & 1975/76 F150 4WD use the same front shocks. There are several different types of these.
- 1977/79 F150 4WD are different. There were no F100 4WD's after 1976.
Stock Height, no lift:
Front:
Extended Length: 19.69"
Compressed Length: 12.51"
Mounting: eye / eye
Rear:
Extended Length: 24.3"
Compressed Length: 14"
Mounting: eye / stud
I purchased Skyjacker shocks all around for my project:
Black MAX twin tube shock absorbers, with black boot.
Front: B8512
Rear: B8555
My truck is still in pieces, so I haven't been able to try them out yet.
Here's the fronts:
