Replacment Shocks

So im trying to replace the oem shocks on my 2004 fx4 and every shock my father can get at napa doesnt come with the front spring? I have a front leveling kit and would like to keep it. Anyone know of shocks that comes with the spring or where i can resuse my old spring.?

yes get the bilstein shocks they are awesome and way way better than the stocks that come on our trucks. I have an 05 4x4 and replaced them with these shocks and love it. I too have the front level kit. They dont come with springs already on them so you have to use your springs. You can rent a spring press at auto zone, thats what I did. Or you can have someone press the spring and replace the front shocks for you. If you are ok doing mechanic work do it your self if not have someone do it for you.

The ride is so much better and the bumps you would feel with the old shocks will hardly be felt. They make the truck more stable too. Good investment!
