Suspension Questions
OK, I'm replacing my front suspension, new shocks and coils (thanks to Bossind) and when I was under the truck today spraying everything down with liquid wrench I noticed that on the front shock (quad shocks) it looks like there is a built in bolt.. 
I was planning on replacing all hardware, but is this gonna stay there unless drilled out?? Second question; is grade 8 hardware sufficient for this??? Are they special bolts that I need to buy from Ford?? Just checking to make sure. Thanks.

Good on ya. Monroes are good. Get them somplace that offers a lifetime warranty on them. I recently exchanged mine at no charge for the first time. The guys at the store were impressed. They said nobody ever comes in to exchange on the warranty. Even a good set of shocks usually only perform properly for around 40K miles.
