shocks for f150 2002

I have a FX4 supercrew and probably need to replace the shocks. I have the Rancho's now.. are there any alternatives to these that are reasonably priced. I would need shocks and install.

drive mostly on the road, but do go off from time to time when snowmobiling or camping. But looking for better handling that is not so soft that it makes the truck less able. Do you know what i mean? but i want something that doesn't ride like a dump truck over man holes like it does now.. the current shocks have 86k on them.

not sure what i should be paying, i have never priced out shocks but i hear the rancho's are over $100 each..

Good advice..

Hi. Good advice from APT.

If you do go this route, read this thread first ( and don't forget the bushing lube ;-))

Rancho 9000X: Disappointed!

In addition, while out chasing down the lube, pick up a case of cold ones - that will ensure an abundant supply of buddies to help you!

Good luck and cheers!
