does anyone know why the price for the Bilstein Shocks went up? Just getting getting ready to buy some and now there expensive.

Any other places to buy shocks besides eshocks.com?

Price looks the same to me as always, You sure you are lookin at the right shocks? See Link Below

http://www.eshocks.com/bil_veh.asp?M...=Ford&Manf=All

 

Pretty sure that's about what I paid... e-shocks rulz. I doubt you'll get them for less anywhere else.

EDIT: I *THINK* **MAYBE** the front shock is like $5-10 more. I think it used to be $69 for the fronts, $65 for the rear.. I could be wrong, and my reciept is nowhere close.

 

I paid the same price two months ago....about $250

 

I could never find the monotube bilsteins on eshocks, didn't like the site much. All I could find is those yellow and blue ones, which is not what I want.

 

Oh, I've got the yellow and blue ones.
I've only installed the rear so far because that was my biggest concern....and because my universal spring compressor didn't fit the 05 screw springs. I have to get another compressor or do at my buddies Ford shop when I get a chance.

I do like the HD's though. They eliminated the rear end kick-out problem that I was having and it handles much better.

 

I was looking at the monotube shocks. Are they different from the yellow and blue ones? If so how? Also your link is for 2wd, are they the same prices for 4wd?

$119.00 Front (each)

$79.99 Rear (each)

These are the only prices i can find for a 4wd 04 f150

Interesting, E-shocks does not list any shocks for the 04 up F150 4x4 any more. I wonder if we bought all they had. I wish I could remember what I paid, I know it was a excellent price at the time. I think it was around $236 for all 4.

 

I'm interested in the bilstein monotubes for the rear. Couldn't find them any time I've looked on eshocks, all I've seen on there is the blue and yellow ones. From what I can tell, it is okay to go w/ monotubes on the rear, I think it is the best choice. I wouldn't know what shock to go w/ otherwise. I'm not paying almost the same price for bilstein regular shocks as I would pay for monotubes.

 

The blue/yellow are stock replacement shocks. The zinc/blue are for lifted applications and are ordered dependent on the amount of lift.

 

Have you tried,

Thanks for the new website.

you're right, I forgot about the ones that are specifically for lifted trucks. I'm going to get the skyjacker lift, I knew there was a reason why I was looking at those monotubes. I'm just buying 2 for the rear though, the lift comes w/ some up front.
