Anybody have these on their truck? Im looking to put them on my 05 F150 and was wondering how they compare against other brands such as Bilstein and Rancho or just how they good they perform in general. Thanks!

I bought a set from 4 Wheel Parts about a year ago and I like them. The guy there told me they are pretty much a rebranded version of the Bilsteins and were a little bit cheaper. The front struts have a spacer in them that you flip to control the ride height. Put on one way, they are at stock height, and if you flip them they lift it 2.5". You can't change it once it is installed on the truck though. There are no adjustments on the shocks or struts once they are installed. I have used them for about 22k miles and no problems. They ride a little stiffer than my 100k miles struts on the truck before, but I like the ride.

Thanks!! Yea i found a good deal on them buying all 4 and it was cheaper than the bilsteins and it sounds like they are very similar. Sounds like the bilsteins ride nicer but then they cost more too

They definitely aren't the worst you could get lol. They are stiff compared to other friends trucks, but I like it. Now the fun part will be installing the struts once you get them! I struggled with them for probably 8 hours total. Rear shocks took 10 minutes though.

Yea not really looking forward to that. Do you have them set for the 2.5" lift? If so did you do anything with the rear to make it level?

I do have it set on the 2.5" lift option. I have nothing in the back for my truck because it is pretty much level now.
