I have a 2000 F-150 4x4 with a 5.4 and the original shocks, I know I know, but I was looking to replace them finally. I have my torsion bars cranked up front and was wondering what replacement shocks y'all have used and what worked well. Would I need to use different shocks up front than in the rear? Thank you in advance.

 

I am a fan of Pro Comps ES3000 and ES9000 shocks

I have ES3000s up front and ES9000 Shocks in the rear the ride is fantastic

 

I'll have to take a look into those. Thank you.

 

Bilstein. I have them on my Expedition, and G35. Also had them on my 98 F150, and put a set on my parents Explore. Good ride, and long life.

 

I have the procomp es9000. They work rather nicely. Wouldn't think twice about going with them again.

 

Bilsten on my truck. When I changed from the worn out stockers to the bilstiens the diference was huge. My only issue with them is there a little firm on the street. A little rough. But you get off road and they are fantastic shocks.

 

Ive got bilsteins on my Bronco 2 and like them a lot. In terms of the front end should I look into getting a shock thats rated for one or two inches of lift over my stockers since my t-bars are turned up?

 

I think with out an actual lift the regular shocks are good.

 

you can you would get more "travel" on the shocks

 

They only "travel" as far as the stock suspension allows.. It may be possible the shocks for a lifted truck could bottom out.. I'd go with what bilstein or who ever recomends.

 

yea but if the suspension "travels" more than the shock "travels" something could break, I NEED longer shocks in the front now because of that problem....

 

I was thinking maybe shocks with an extra 1" for up front and leave the two rear shocks at stock because nothing back there is altered. I don't think it would be a terrible idea but i definately wouldnt feel comfortable with 2-3" lift shocks.

 

I put pro comp es9000's on mine in te spring and love them
