daily driver shocks?

Need to replace the oem motorcraft shocks on 01 f150 scab 2wd and just need something not cheap but comparable to oem so the truck doesnt bounce so much over bumps....Any suggestions? Thanks

Just replaced my front shocks on my 01 F150 (4x4) w/ORP from Napa.
Heavy duty and ride great.
Was looking at Ranchos,but have heard stories of just paying for a decal these days on them. Failed boots and broken welds on ends,but then again I'm in NM on these roads....lol

The best warranty is the one you don't need.

If people are breaking through both welds, that is legit.

Looking for new shocks

Ok so I have an 07 stock f150 Harley awd. Not looking to lift the truck , I was wondering what is the best shock that I could run. I live in mass and the roads up here are not all that good. This is a street driven truck with 92k on it now.
All advice and options are welcome. Thanks guys.

If you want to replace the whole coilover assembly because that's easier, Monroe quick struts are a great oem comparable replacement.

I put them on my truck a few months back (along with new ball joints and tierods), and it rides like its brand new. I'm at 100k.

I'd recommend Rancho too (I hear they have great customer service ) but I haven't personally used their products. Speaking of that, Rancho, you guys should come out with a stock hight assembly like your quick lifts.

Thanks I will look into those. I had the rancho 5000 on my other trucks and liked them. Thanks again!
