Cool New Shocks

It's time to replace the Shock Absorbers on my 1998 F150 4.6L 2WD. Ext Cab. And I'm looking for suggestions of which brand/type I should use. Since I drive my trucks as long as they will keep runnig I don't mind a little spending extra money for something good. All of my driving is on paved roads so I don't need anything for offroad. Your help will be appreciated.

Bilstein. They will last a long time. I have only heard of a few who have lost the nitrogen gas out of them. They will really improve the handling of the truck. A second choice would be Rancho.

I put Rancho 2000 all the way around, and I love them, course I have never ridden any other brands but stock, but there is a big difference since I put the Rancho's on, pretty cheap to.
