2WD Leveled..How bout these?

Hey All..

I have 52k on my 07 2WD F150. I have a leveling kit with stock shocks. I do some moderate off road driving and I am ready for some new shocks. I have been reading reviews on the Bilsteins and they seem like the best way to go. I just want to make sure I am getting the ones I need. I will either leave the level kit in or use the adjustment on the bilsteins to make up the 2".

Will these work?

Any other recommendations for my application? Rancho? Monroe?

Thanks!!!!!!

I am also thinking of putting in a 1.5" rear block...Will these shocks/struts still work?

Thanks again!!

I don't think those feature adjustable preload, but they will work with your leveling kit. They should be fine with a small lift block also.

Just to let you know. Even though it's listed as such, they DO NOT have those shocks. They are on backorder and not currently available. I didn't know places could "sell" stuff on ebay that they don't have. I too was tricked by topguncustomz and went through a big fuss with them and ebay over it. We Eventually just settled on a full refund.

Anyhoo, just be careful. Send them an email asking if they have THOSE specific shocks in stock. Pretty sure they don't. In fairness, those shocks are on backorder everywhere.



P.S. you can also get them cheaper elsewhere. Although backordered like I said.

From my research around these forums, the Rancho's are nice. I think they are more expensive though. Had I known back then what I know now, I probably would have gone with Rancho. But I've already waited 3+ months, so waiting another month or so(these Bilsteins are supposed to arrive the first part of April ) isn't that big a deal for me.

If you aren't in a hurry, I'd probably wait.
