I'm still running on factory rear shocks at 208,000. My truck has the AAL in the rear which lifted it about 2". Which shock would be best for the rear? I need the namebrand and length difference from the original and of course the cheapest place to buy them. Thanks

 

Bilsteins will be your best bet. I believe you can still use OEM length shocks.

 

Thanks, i found these http://www.allshocks.com/bilstein/ht...ear=%271997%27 looks like a good price. Do you know a better place?

 

what about the PRO COMP ES3000 TWIN TUBE GAS SHOCK like you have? $87.47 shipped to my door. or all 4 Pro Comp ES1000 Shocks for $99.95.

 

shockwarehouse.com is $18 cheaper and possibly more if allshocks charges shipping. Make sure to enter promo code F150 for an additional 5% off.
The $18 included the 5% off.

 

I don't see Pro Comp on that site and the Bilsteins are 75.00 each. ????????

 

shockwarehouse.com

2) F4-BE5-2489-H0
2) F4-BE5-2490-H0 total = $287.68 - $68.14 (the lesser shock) - 5% = $208.56

 

Thanks for the info. Wandell, Would the Pro Comp ES1000 last like the PRO COMP ES3000. I don't do much offroading? These are cheaper price than the Bilsteins, are they cheaper quality as well?

 

The PC ES3000's I have are better than the OEM shocks but from all the reviews I've read the Bilstiens are a better shock.

 

We don't carry Procomp. But I'll be glad to answer your questions about the Bilsteins.

 

I neglected to mention that OEM length shocks work for up to 2" of lift. So the Bilstein HDs would fit your vehicle.

 

Ok, thanks, I'll let you know when I get ready to purchase.

 

Well I just ordered my Bilsteins HD's. I hope I like them!

 

where did you order them from and how much?

 

No problem at all. Feel free if you have any further questions.
