Better ride?

I'm in the process of restoring my F-100 as a daily driver but it's a really bumpy ride. Would a new set of shocks all around help soften out the ride? What about replaceing all the cracked body bushings?

Definitely a good set of premium gas charged shock will damping the ride.

How good of shape are the radius arm busing under the truck ?

I just have some new cheapo shocks on mine but it rides really well... your know... for a 30 year old truck. I personally like the bounce of old trucks.

If you have a 73-79 F series, these are the shocks you want to run. Ride like a dream.
