Shock question...

I am going to toss those ridiculous Rancho's that are on my truck for some Bilsteins ASAP and have a few questions. First, where can I get the best price on a set of them and second, exactly WHICH Bilstein should I be looking for?

Thanks for your help here.....Bob

There are about 10 threads over in the Superduty/Heavyduty section about Bilstein shocks as we speak. You have an FX4 so I'm not sure about the part# for that shock, but you have a few options, I think. Kinda depends on what you're gonna be doing with your truck in the future.....street vs. offroad

I just replaced the front OEM shocks on my '06 F250 (stock height & 7000 mi) with a set of Bilstein HD's. All I can say is THANKS to all of you who recommended them. I just took a test drive over a section of washboard in a turn where I've always had to slow down to keep the truck on the road. No more- these shocks are GREAT!
