Advise on new shocks/struts for '05 F150 XLT 5.4
Forgot to add that its a 4X4
Okay - so heres the deal. My b/f's truck needs new shocks/struts all the way around. It has around 165000kms on it. He does heavy bush driving for hunting, trapping, fishing and camping etc. I have looked all over the net and found nothing on supsension for this thing and I'm getting SUPER frustrated!!!
I am wanting to get him these for x-mas this year and I have been told to get the following: Monroe, Skyjacker, Bilstein and Rancho. I can't afford much as I'm going to school BUT he also needs something that is going to hold up to the job.
ALSO I have found a couple of the above names listed BUT no one seems to have the part # etc. I can get Monroes here locally but they wouldn't even give me a part number.
If you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Let me know what you have, liked ot disliked, pricing etc.
Thanks for your time Sarah

I was looking just the other day at 4wheelparts and they had a special on Rancho shocks going on for all 4. Seemed like a good deal, but I haven't priced them before.

im pretty happy with my skyjackers rear shocks.
with that said, im pretty sure in going to be getting the bilstein 5100s for the front. i have heard only good things about the 5100s.
