Shock Advice
 
Hey all, looking for some input. I have a 2004 F150 Lariat Screw 4WD. Recently as of just three weeks ago I made an investment in my truck. A new motor due to the notorious Cam Phaser Issue. So with that being said I am in for the long haul. So I am replacing some parts I feel need to be changed as well. One of the things I am looking to change is the shocks on my SCREW. This is where I am looking for some guidance. I want to return to the smooth ride it once had so can anyone give me there 2 cents on replacement shocks for my lady. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I've always been happy with Bilsteins.

By chance do you have a model or Part #?

The Bilstein 5100's are also highly recommended. They cost a little more and provide a firmer ride, and is the option I am pursuing.

I found a deal running until Aug 31 for both struts and shocks for $330:

The 4600 HD's (recommended above) are on $294:

As it turns out, it's a little higher for the 5100's (w/ RWD), depending on with whom you speak. I was able to get a quote of $390, but the rears are backordered 60 days.
