Shocks
I have a 2012 F250 King Ranch 8ft bed. Looking for recommendations on shocks.

Most members will recommend Rancho or Bilstein brand shocks.

Dont get KYB Monomax shocks unless you want an absolute buckboard of a ride. Stiff as can be.

I have a new to me 2014 F250 KR and put on Bilstein 5100's. Another thing to consider is the body mounts. Mine were not completely shot but they were very worn. Replacing both made the truck feel nice and tight.

Bilstein 5160 is what I went with after using Fox 2.0. Either are very good shocks but I got these dual reservoir for the same price as the Fox mono tubes.
