Upgrading Shocks on Lifted 2008 F150
Hey guys,
I currently have a 2008 supercrew XLT 4x4 with a 6 inch Rough Country lift but I want to change out the spacers in the front with upgraded Coilovers and possibly the shocks in the back that came with the kit to get a better, smoother ride. Any suggestions? I know there is King, Fox, Pro-Comp, and Fabtech but I dont want to spend $1600 for just front Coilovers, and I dont want to get some that re-use the stock coil. Any advice would be great. Also, what are some good shocks to go with out back?
Thanks In Advance

Out back I'd go with Bilsteins. I had 5150's on my 76 Blazer and now have them on my 78 F150. However, you will probably find better prices on a package deal doing front and back with all the same brand.
