Help with shock selections

Doesn't seem to be much out there in the way of shocks for a 1975 F-100 4X4 (stock). Looking for some suggestions for shock replacement, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Should be able to get them at most if not all parts stores. What is it that you are looking to do? you can get some stout gas/oil that will stiffin you up or just a oem type to keep the ride a bit smoother but won't help with handling or pounding the trails. I need to replace both rear and front and may go with an air set up or ajustable so I can tune my ride a bit better or adapt to a load. May also just go with a stock shock and get air bags or a combo or......I agree with lxman- gabriel makes a good shock. so do others.

The rancho RS9000 is a good shock. It has a dial adjustment for five settings,however i am not sure if they have a setup for the f100.
