new shocks

Just installed a new set of Bilstiens shocks from shockwarehouse. Took a little drive and from my short trip they seem great. Should have replaced them long ago.

No I replaced the OEM's off my truck. The shipping took a week after payment was processed.

Headviking,
How many miles did you have on the truck? And was it a noticeable difference or only slight? I have 34,000 miles on my '07 F350 6.0 and thinking about doing the same if it'll be worth it. Thanks

I like mine so far. Got them from eshocks since they were closer so I could get them sooner. Within a few dollars of shockwarehouse. They are in Michigan if memory serves me correctly.

Well Bryce, the price at shockwarehouse is about $64 a shock for the heavy duty, if you have a cheaper place with that price i'd appreciate a pm on it, thank you.

Thanks all, and Headviking. Looks like I'll be ordering a full set soon. And yea Bryyce, they are quite a bit more than $150 unless you know something we don't.
