Default Need help with shocks

Gonna be replacing all my shocks and putting on a leveling kit. My factory ones are way over due to be replaced. I have a 2wd 04 f150. Lookin for a smooth riding shock. I don't go off-roading much other than just when I'm drivin to hunt so I don't need anything super stiff. Any help would be appreciated

Monroe are more than adequate and they don't hurt the wallet. Or skip thd level kit and get the bilstein levelling shocks to pick the front end up. I don't use them myself as i already had a level before i discovered them but people seem to like them.
- guess you would still have to get the blocks for the rear but the shocks would handle the front without going with a spacer.

I have used Monroe Reflex and will put them on my 2wd in a heartbeat when the time comes.

I have Monroe load adjusting with the spring on the shock. I have them in the rear and they work pretty darn good. No complaints here.

Get Bilstein 5100 leveling struts and shocks. That's what I went with.
