Shock value
I know everyone has their favorite brand when considering shocks,, Rancho, Edelbrock, Monroe..etc... but just wanted to get some feedback from those who have actually purchased, installed, and road tested.
I have a stock 98 F-150, and have been researching a seemingly endless variety of shocks for the past month or so, and have narrowed down my list of choices quite a bit. I dont do alot of off-roading, outside of an occasional fishing/camping trip 3-4 times a year, so the extreme off-road shocks are already off the list.
Mainly highway, but still want some performance applications, so Ive been looking at the Rancho RSX, that claims they fit stock/no-lift.
I just want a nice smooth ride, that can handle some off-road at times.
Anyone have an opinion, or another shock suggestion, please let me know.
Oh, BTW,,, I found the Rancho RSX on-line, for $223.00 for all four, no shipping or tax.
Seems to be the best deal.

Thanks for the tip NGM, do you have a link for these? I searched for them, but only found Jeep applications for some reason, and were the boots included, or additional, Thanks.

Trailmaster has a nice line as well, not guaranteed forever however. It all boils down to personal preference. I personally do not like the way Ranchos work as they are too harsh for me. Koni makes some awesome shocks but they are pretty pricey.

I agree with you on the Rancho shocks. They are rough. I am not a fan of Koni. They dont hold up IMO.
