Shocks

Alright,
Pretty sure I need new shocks on my 2004 F-350 Crew 4x4 Diesel.
I have the FX-4 package on there right now. Was wondering what you would put on a stock truck to replace the RS5000? Or would you go with the same exact thing again?

Folks here swear by Bilsteins... I will not buy another set. If it was my truck the ones you have are the ones I'd replace them with. Save a lot of $$$$ too.

Shocks are like tires, there's dozens of options.
I installed Bilsteins at 75K miles. Should have done it sooner.

the shocks on the FX-4 are rebadged junk.
If you have over 35K on them they're toast.
Get the Bilstein HD's and you won't regret it.

Which Bilstein HD's? What length? Just throwing a brand name out there isn't that helpful, honestly.

You have the internet at your fingertips, right?
It depends completely on your specific application.

Have a look-see:
