Good place to buy shocks and struts?
My 08's ride is starting to get a little rough and since I'm getting a new set of tires later this year, I think it's time to replace the shocks and struts on it. Any good places that have OEM or OE style parts at a good price? Please note, I am not interested in a lift nor heavy duty M/T tires lol. I'm probably going to get another set of Cooper Discoverer H/T Plus tires, since these have been really good to me. I'm trying to keep the truck stock
Thanks!!

Hmm I'm looking at those sites and none seem to have the part numbers I need. I called Ford and this is what I was told, can someone please confirm??

These should be what you need. Quick struts for the front that save labor and replace the springs. There are numerous different brands and styles available.

I replaced mine with Monroe's as mentioned in joe McMillan's posts. Very pleased with them after 5 months of use. I use my truck to pull a camper as well.
Should you do them yourself, make sure you have the larger lower front shock/spring socket for removal.
