Shocks/Tires?

2002 F150 4x4 4.6L 95k miles

i Recently had my truck had a "supreme oil change" with a tire alignment

i went mudding had my truck vibrating at 80+ speeds

took it in they did hte oil change, tire rotation / alignment etc

after i payed the fee $125 they said i am probably going to need new shocks and even new tires

my tires have a dip inside them in the middle ---v--- kinda like that ???

i don't know but the whole ordeal with new shocks is going to cost 300 per bearing which includes labor, and then im going to need new tires

IS THIS CORRECT?
or am i about to get jipped?

If youre tread is worn like that where there is less in the middle you have been running overinflated.

As for shocks if they are the stock ones theyre def worn out. When I change mine out at like 80k i could compress them all the way by hand and it would take over a minute for them to expand again. I did mine myself soI have no idea on what a normal shop price is for install. Someone out there will chime in about a price.

ps you may want to relax on the offrading a bit if youre havin to realign after each time. just my .02

any mods on the truck? fill in youre sig so everyone can see

300 sounds about right....my offroad shop quoted me for $272 for four skyjacker shocks and labor
