well i have a 2004 ford 150 fx4, i ordered a 2 1/2 leving kit along with 285/65/18 bfg a/t's, heres my question. which shocks will best for my setup? and should i put a block in the rear?

 

Welcome to forum. You will get all your questions answered here. You may not need to repalce the one's you have unlesss they need to be replaced.

 

well my truck has 44,000 miles on it now and i noticed a little dip last weekend when i went hunting? so with the new tires and the leveling kit i thought maybe the shocks also?

 

I'd suggest adding a set of Bilstiens. They have adjustable spring preload for up to 2 inches of lift so you wouldn't need the leveling kit

 

Wandell, you are one of the most knowledgeable dudes here so....If I just add a 2" AS Lift to my front on a 2008 F150 Screw will I have to do anything to the rear?

 

same here should i go with a block in the rear then, i do pull a 7x16 inclosed trailer with some weight? so leveling kit, shocks, block?

 

U can't have the shocks adding lift and the leveling kit, that will really mess some stuff up. U can just upgrade the shocks to the Bilsteins, and use the leveling kit, but there isn't much point in that. Also don't worry about the trailer, ive pulled a similar sized livestock trailer full of sheep with about 1500 lbs of feed in the back.

PS: I have a 2004 with an AS 2.5 and 35/12.5/17 MTZ's

 

Welcome There's lots of folks here who have done the 2"AS level kit and left the rear alone, including me. Looks perfect.

 

which particular Bilsteins shocks, i think i'll leave the rear alone then. does anyone have a edge performance package on there truck? If so, what kinda gains would i be looking at? hp? 0-60? torque? and is there a fuel economy setting? thanks guys all your help is making this easy

 

So I will go with the 2" AS lift to be safe. I don't want the front higher.

 

No, you won't have to do anything to the rear unless you just want to raise it also.
