front shocks and cst lift

so for the moment i have decide to get the cst 8" lift. i was wondering, sence the cst uses stock coilovers in front could i just upgrade the struts (or shocks) in front...... is there even a company that makes a shock upgrade like that? i dont realy want to buy a coilover up grade. any ideas.

I was thinking about doing the same except with procomp. I was thinking rancho, probably rs9000. But I was wondering how to do the rear? I know I could just use the procomp rear shocks that come with the kit, but it would be nice to have rancho's all the way around. Any ideas?

Thanks

it sounds like youre wanting to do a decent amount of offroading since your spending the extra dough for cst than fabtech or procomp. if so, go with the new race runners. best shocks out for an f150. plus, ull get 0-3 inches of adjustable hieght with them too!! 420$

ya i def. want to offroad alot. were did you find the racerunners at this price? the bilstiens are just as much and they arent coilovers there just struts. so this sound like a better idea. thanks

heres the link for race runners 415$, best by for offroading!

http://www.performanceproducts.com/p...+Coilover+Kits

also, if u search around for camburg and fabtech coilovers, u will notice, all the internal designs were first thought of by race runner and the others are pretty much duplicates with a few of there own parts so they can market them!!
