Looking for an all around not expensive shock. Had seen earlier recommendations for Monroe Gas Shocks. They are about $56 for two at Kragen. I have a little problem with the rear end sagging a little(see photos) Is there a better shock choice or another remedy for dragging the back end? Thanks. FC

 

56.00 for 2 thats way to much. give me a sec i will look them up.

 

in order to look them up what year is it? 2wd or 4x4 and is it f100 250 350

1965 F100 2 wheel drive, that was the price for the lower monroe also at the store. Is that heavy duty enough?

 

yes they are stock shocks i have them on my 75 they work good.

 

If your suspension is sagging, shocks aren't going to help out that much. Might want to throw a helper spring in there or put some blocks under the leafs.

 

Yes, I agree, shocks will not help with the sag. Getting your springs recurved or replaced and then bew shocks. The shocks damppen the spring recoil and do not hold up the suspension.

 

I posted awhile back asking about shocks. I finally had some time today and crawled under my 65 f100 and what I have are really old air shocks in the rear. I tried to pump them up and got just a little lift and it seemed I had the compressor going for a while. Since I can't read the psi recommended, is there a middle of the road psi I should try for? Or should I assume these are shot because they don't seem to be inflating. thanks for the help, the beast is running great besides this.

 

They're shot. Airshocks don't hold a large volume.
