Default Shocks.

I plan on upgrading/replacing my shocks. Any ideas on a good brand for our trucks? My 92 I had rough country shocks. Ive thought about nitrogen shocks but never used them.

I have Skyjacker Nitro 8000 on my 97 F150 5.4 LWB. Installation was easy and skyjacker has great customer service. Overall I'm happy with the ride quality.

On my 03 i ran Procomp 3000s, Rancho 9000X(Think that's the model) Adjustable pand Bilsteins 5100s.

The procomps were the softest, the Ranchos were to short and cracked my upper shock mount, the Bilsteins were a little stiffer but actually improved the ride. For that reason, I just bought 5100s for my 2013.

Fox 2.0 direct replacements. Paid 500 for them, but I love them.

Ranchos 5000s, feel's pretty smooth, better than the stock for sure i paid $85 each (rip off? Well that's Canada for you) a pain to remove drivers back one, so much rust, WD-40 rust penetrant helped tho, reccomend if you have the rust problem
