Hey guys, so.... I have a 6" lift on my 05 supercab 4wd.

I have looked everywhere and cannot find a 4 shock package for the newer body style f150 with a 6" lift. (2 Rear shocks and 2 front struts, my coils are fine)

1) Who offers struts and shocks by themselves for a 6" lift?
2) What brand would you recommend? So far, I am thinking Bilstein, but I do not think they make them...
3) Where can I get the shocks for the best price?

Im lookin for the Best "bang for my buck". I want to stay under $400. I have a black and blue truck, I would like to stay away from shocks that are red, yellow, pink, purple, etc... Neutral tones. Preferably silver.

THank you in advance, everyone!

 

have you tried calling an offroad distributor, such as 4wheelparts? bilsteins are a great shock... they came with my RCD lift... i think if you buy them seperately, the 5100 series runs about 75-90 dollars each. i would call 4wheelparts and talk to them.... plus their salesmen will always offer better deals to make a sale.

 

I will definitely try that, Thanks!

 

Bilstein 5100s in the front from the RCD 6" lift. Bilstein 5150s for a 6" lift.

 

Look into the Bilsteins that come with the RCD kit. I just got my truck lifted about 3 weeks ago with the RCD kit and the Bisteins ride great on and off road!

Here is my truck!

 

wtf... We have the same truck!

haha

Hey, that rhyms...

 

haha. yes we do.lol.
I have a question for you fordboy...how do you like your gears? Were they worth the money? I am thinkin about getting some but need some info first.

 

They are nice to have, more driveable... buttttt.... For 1300$, It is up to you whether it is worth the money...

Hey, check out this thread I have started and let me know what you think! Maybe you can get some ideas for your truck too.

Yea thats what a lot of people are telling me. I have the money so thats not really an issue i just don't want money wasted.

I like that thread too man. I was thinking the same exact thing the other day about painting the badges on my truck. Crazy dude we have like the same ideas and everything. I like your grill you have now tho!

 

Yeah? How much do you like it? It will be up for sale...
haha



Do you like that one better than the Saleen?

 

Gears are definitely worth it. Get 4.88s if you want the truck to be faster.

 

No, dont get 4:88's. Way too low.

You have 35" tires, right? I've got 35's with 4:56 gears and im running at about 2300rpm @ 65 on the highway. If you want to be at 3000rpm+ in overdrive going 65, then go right ahead.

I wish these fords had a 3rd gear....
:o

 

6" RCD struts are on their way!

173.96, shipped to my front door.

I cant wait!

 

for the rears, you could also look at the Fabtech "dirt logic" shocks.

I think Fox Racing also makes rear shocks for a 6" lift.

Not saying these are better, just more options.

 

lol mine has a 3rd gear. It has a 4th gear too.
