Yes some F150s did come with quad shocks, I have them on my truck.

And the Bronco is more comparable to the F150 because they both have coils. Most F250s have leaf springs in the front (the 2wd models might have coils, I don't recall).

I ordered my 88 150 with handling package that included quads.
My 96 FSB has quads.
I plan to use quads on my 84 FSB SAS - (on Cage radius arms).

Doesn't current 2wd F250s still use TIB, I know they did a couple of years ago.

Not sure what you mean by TIB but all of the currently manufacturing Super Duty's have coil suspension up front, both 2wd and 4wd.

TTB 4X4
TIB 4x2 since 1980 I am sure I saw coil sprung F250s about 2 years ago.
That's why I wouldn't buy one.
Very old school. Just like my steel wheeled skateboard.
