2003 F150 Super Crew 4WD w/6" Fabtech, WHAT FRONT SHOCKS?!
Hello ladies and gentlemen! This is my first post, and I swear I've already searched the entirety of Google for the answer to this, with almost zero success. Lots of 'Bilstein 5100'...but no part number, and Bilstein's (and every other vendor's) site seems to be useless for this. But I found a thread on this site:
https://www.f150online.com/forums/19...tech-lift.html
In it, a gentleman says that Bilstein F4-BE5-6526-H5 for a Ford Ranger fit his 03 Super Crew 4wd, with a Fabtech lift. This part number is discontinued but I found a site that has it now listed as Bilstein 24-185684.
Can anyone confirm this? Is this literally the ONLY shock option for a 6" Fabtech lifted 03 Super Crew 4WD (excepting the crappy Fabtech FTS7159)?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

The fabtech kit includes shocks already unless you opted out and bought a lift kit part by part. I ran their shocks into the ground before I replaced them with Bilstein 5150's. The stock fabtech shocks are made by Fox I believe, and weren't bad. Unless you are planning on hitting it really crazy hard off road all the time. Anyhow, just my thoughts kind sir. I have a 4" lift on my '03 screw.

CrisAnderson27, did you ever get an answer to this? I am currently in the exact same situation. 03 supercrew, 6"fabtech and no one is showing a decent shock for it. I ran the procomps, but now am leaning toward the 5100s due to the 2 " diameter body of the shock and good reviews, but cant seem to find a part number. I did find this info on one site, but unsure due to no one can confirm http://www.eshocks.com/bil_Ind.asp?VC=9q6&SubChar=q
