[Jose Luis]

Hello there! I am planning to replace my shocks from my 2004 f150 and i am considering offroad type but i do not know what brand to use or even if it is recommendable, any suggestions? Thank you

I like Rancho or Skyjacker.

If you’re planning on doing the work yourself, I’d recommend spraying some penetrating oil on the shocks’ fasteners the day before you get down and dirty.

+1 on the Ranchos. Those come standard on some off road oriented F-150’s.

do you actually plan to go off road? im not talking a grass parking lot either. plan to actually haul or town anything?

i put some heavier duty shocks on my s10 and it rode like a brick unless there was 700# int he bed. very bumpy ride on the road on the front end and rear end. when going over bumps at high speed (on/off ramp especially) the shcosk were so stiff it caused the truck to jump sideways. I went back to the cheapest shocks out there and handled much better.
