I've got a 1999 f150 2wd. Im going to get a 2 inch leveling kit for my truck. So I was wondering what kind of shocks I should get? I have been thinking about getting rancho shocks, but I dont know if anyone else has any other shocks that they would reccommend?

 

brother and I both have the rancho rs 5000 love them he has a 99 and I have a 2000 4x4 f-150's great shocks

 

Cool. I think thats what im gonna go with. What do you reccommend for the leveling kit?

 

Do they give a pretty firm ride? I need some shocks as well, but don't want shocks that are too stiff / firm.

 

I had the 5000's on my '03 and they were pretty firm. If you dont want that try the 9000's or some Bilsteins

 

Nice Truck, looks Tough

How did your 5000's ride though, on and off road?

Thanks

 

Im thinking about doing 2 inch coils for the leveling kit. Do you think that would be better than blocks? Also, ive got a posi in my truck since its a 2wd. Do you think it would be worth the money to put a locker back there?

 

I wouldnt go so far as to say "rough" just real firm on road

 

Thanks Trooks!!

HSimpson, do you have torsion bars on your truck? You could try crankin them up.

 

No i dont have them. Do you think coils would be the best thing to use when i level it? What do you think about putting a locker back there with my posi?

 

i just installed a set of pro-comp 9000's pretty good grear price . i also installed a leveling kit i put on a trail master 2" it sits the truck up prety good and was a easy install. for the rear i went with 2" blocks because i still wanted that rake in the back . with my bigger tires my 2000 2wd sits as tall as a 4x4 . thats what i was shooting for.

 

Cool man. ill check into that trailmaster leveling kit. Do you think i should put a locker in the rear of my truck even though i have a posi?

 

i wouldnt .

 

is it because it wouldnt do much good, or it isnt worth it for the money?
