I searched around but couldn’t find what I was looking for. I have a 05, Screw, 4x4, 5.4. My truck is a daily driver, home depot weekend runs, free rental to friends moving “stuff” and I’ll load brush and logs to take to the dump as I clean my land. I don’t tow, I don’t 4 wheel. At some point I’ll be picking up some 20” wheels for the summer and use the stocks in the winter. I’m getting to 50,000 miles and would like to start looking into some suspension upgrades as things start to wear out in the upcoming miles. I don’t really have a desire to lower or lift but would like a better ride. I’ve boosted the HP a little with a chip, intake and exhaust. I do have a little fun stepping on the gas from time to time. Does anyone have product names, link or other info about better ball joints, shocks, struts; etc to improve my suspension but basically leaves the stock height? When I search web sites and magazines it’s either to lower or to lift. If I had to sway one way or another I would go with a minor lift. Thanks for the help.

 

For stock replacement shocks, look at Bilsteins. Much better than stock.

 

You can get new bushings for the rear leafs and front A arms, but it may not be worth the cost. IMO you shouldn't have to worry about things wearing out, the new F150's aren't like the ones built 20 years ago. The bushings have come a long way and the Factory bushings are probably as good as aftermarket urethane bushings. Eventually you may need ball joints, but just get an alightment every year and that should let you know when you start to get play in them.
