How do i know which shocks to order guys? If it has a 2 or 3 inch body lift do i need to know specifically what it has before i order shocks or will standard size work as needed? I am looking into some Billsteins possibly i want a nice smooth ride.

first of all nice truck if the shocks are blue and the spring is too sounds like you have a 7.5 fabtech lift if so go with some pro comp or fabtech shocks or go to your parts store and ask them get a pic of your suspension and you might get a better answer

7.5" fabtech??? look right behind the side step bars and you see how much frame you can see? that tells me that it has some sort of body lift. you can barely see the frame stock. google some f150s with a 7.5 fabtech lift. his doesnt sit nearly high enough for that much lift.

Sweet truck more pics

2wd have coil springs up front . Get us some pic's of the front suspension and we can tell you. And look where the body mounts to the frame. If there is slot of space there (3") then is a body lift prolly. Either way it's a sweet truck. Oh and if it is a BL stock replacement shocks will work fine.
