Lightbulb Shock Upgrade

Getting information on the harley is like hitting the lotto. It's hard as He%% sometimes ! I'm looking to improve on the ride. To me, the OEM ride is a little soft. I'd like to do this by upgrading my shocks. I'd like to get the Bilstein shock, however they don't make a specific shock for our truck. One distributor suggest getting the standard f150 shock. Bilstein said DON'T ! So, my question is, has anyone upgraded there shocks , and if so, what brand... ie edlebrock IAS, rancho's .

Check www.roushperf.com They use Bilstien in their stage 2 and probably will in their stage 3 F150.

Smile Thanks !

Didn't think about using the bilstein shocks for the L. Think I'll order a set. I'll let you know what I think about them.

We don't share that much with the L. The front arms are different, shocks are different, rear end is different cause it's a screw. Don't assume it will fit, check it our first.
