Hey guys, I have a 2006 F150 2wd. I am looking into replacing the front shocks. I currently am running the stock coilover setup with a 1.5" leveling kit.

I know that the bilstein 5100 shocks have an adjustable perch that will lift the front of the truck 0-2".

I am looking for something that will be a better shock than stock, and also allow me to remove the spacer.

Any suggestions? Or are the Bilsteins the best bet?

Thanks,

-Dennis

 

icon or king coilovers
are probably the 2 best in the market

 

Bilstiens are probably the best value.

 

Haha, If I was gonna spend that kind of money id just get fox's.

I cant afford to replace the entire coilover, just looking at new shocks and keeping the factory coil.

 

so why ask the question if you already know the answer and know what u want?

 

I was trying to see if there was another shock, aside from the bilstein that did the same thing. Just trying to get some options, I dont like being locked into one brand. If bilstein is the only company making a shock with an adjustable perch I will have to go with them.

 

Rancho makes a quicklift shock.I don't know how it compares. Just fyi

 

I'd personally go with the bilsteins, I've never had any troubles with them, nor has anybody I've talked to...they come pretty highly recommended.

 

I got Rancho Quick Lift and they are great.
