Shock Absorbers
I have a 2001 Ford F150 Triton V8. I want to install some new high performance shocks for general use with stock equipment. Any suggestions?

If you're talking about the rear shocks, I always switch to Gabriel Hijacker air shocks.
They're adjustable with an air hose from 40 - 200 psi to carry an additional 1/2 ton of cargo. So, soft ride (40 psi) for normal driving, stiff ride, aggressive look (80+ psi), or level ride with heavy cargo (120++).
I usually mount the air valve, pointing down, in a 3/8" hole drilled thru the black plastic piece between the rear wheel and bumper. So when you fill your rear tire it's right there to check/adjust.
