What new shocks?

I am looking at putting new shocks on my F250 because the ones that came with my lift are killing me. What shocks do you guys reccommend that give the best ride. Also, I have a 5.5" lift so what size shocks would I have to get? Please include the price you paid for them as well. Any help is appreciated.

sfgiantsfan9,

Most people on here go with the Bilstein. They also make a longer shock for the lifted trucks. Do a search on here and you can find lots of info on shocks and the best place
to buy them.

Good luck

Bilstein hands down, got mine from shockwarehouse dot com. They are a sponsor and had the best price and quickest shipping. I ordered mine on a Tuesday and received them on that Friday. You wont be dissapointed!

I'm pretty happy with my Gabriels. Make sure anything you go with should have a lifetime warranty.
