So I have a 2003 F150 2wd with a Fabtech 7.5" Lift. I believe the lift consists of just longer coil springs, lift spindles, and a crossmember.

The lift came with some Fabtech shocks, which aren't horrible, but I bet there are some out there that can give a smoother ride. The truck is mostly for the street and not off roading, so what type of shocks do you suggest for a better quality ride?

I really know nothing about shocks, are the ones with remote reservoirs better for some reason? or what a bout a fixed reservoirs?

Thanks

 

I'd suggest Bilstiens. Reservoir shocks hold more fluid and are less prone to fading. Probably overkill on the street, but they do look sweet.

 

Which Bilstein would you suggest I use for the best ride? Would a resovoir really be necessary for mostly a street truck, or would the more oil allow a smoother ride and such cause of the lift?

 

the bilsteins are nice shocks for sure...but from what I have been told dont they run pretty stiff? I have a 2wd with lift spindles and coil spacers and am looking for the same type of shock...I have heard good things about edelbrocks but they are kinda pricy as are the bilsteins...so I am undecided right now.
