I have a 1998 f-150 with a 6 or 7.5 in lift and 35" tires. It still has oem billsteins on it.(the yellow and blue ones) But the rear still is fine when I hit speed bumps but the front end feels like it doesn't give at all. I am thinking about putting billstein 5100's on it in the front because the rear end still rides great... So just looking for opinions or suggestions please.

Thanks,
Kyle

 

im pretty sure you should never just change 2 just go and get all four you will be happieir later on

 

I have the skyjacker hydro 7000 series and i love them

 

I just need anything to improve the ride of the front end of my truck. And could anybody compare the billstein 5100's to the skyjacker hydro 7000 series shocks?

 

I think the bilstein or rancho 9000's top the list and I actually prefer the rancho's because they're adjustable from soft to hard. As far as skyjacker it depends on what it's used for. The hydro is fine if you just drive on the street only but if you do any sort of offroading then you want the nitro shock. It's a little pricier than the hydro but well worth it.
