Shock Talk

Hey guys n gals.

Just wondering what you guys replace your factory shocks with. My truck is an fx4 and I think it came with a little different shocks then a non fx4(ranchero something or anothers?)

I am interested in getting something that lasts around the same, with around the same kinda ride, just wondering what some of ya all replace the stockers with!

And yet another vote for Bilsteins, they seem to work really well on our trucks.

They just had a buy 3 get 1 free sale on them last month. Shockwarehouse.com I think is a sponsor here. Theyve got some good prices on them.

Bilstiens at Shockwarehouse here also Sheldon, I think the 5100's are for the FX-4 too, I got them. Check for the Ford truck promo code, you can save a little more with that code, good luck.

Just got through putting Bilstiens on today from Shockwarehouse. No more 4 for 3 but they do have a 10% off and with the FTE discount (Ford5) for an extra 5%. Haven't drove enough for an honest opinion, but after next weeks trip to the OBX I'll have a good opinion.
