I'd like to get rid of the body roll my '08 F-150 has. I only have about 17,700 miles on it, so I know the shocks aren't bad. They just cause the body to roll in turns. Will a set of Rancho or Bilstein or Rancho shocks solve my problem? I'd also like to level the truck out and kill two birds with one stone. Would I need to change front and rear shocks to get rid of the body roll?

 

What tires do you have on the truck? Are they P series rather than LT tires? If so that is at least part of the problem.

 

Stock shocks are junk from the getgo. Very soft and plush. Get you some Bilsteins 5100's, they will take care of your problem, plus you can level your truck at the same time. Yes you need the same, front and back. Just don't expect the Bilsteins to make your ride smoother. The ride is a little more harsh, but truck handles much better.

 

dive my tundra for a day and you wont be complaining that thing has body roll like a ****

 

The tires are still the stock set.

 

Cool. That's kinda what I expected. I'd rather have it handle better in turns/curves than ride like a Cadillac. Or is it possible to get the best of both worlds (handling and ride comfort) with the Rancho 9000XL's?

 

I can't stand that feeling. If I think the F-150 is bad, I wouldn't want to know what your Tundra feels like. lol

 

That does not tell me anything as they are available with both P series and LT tires.

 

I'm sorry, you're right. I'm not sure what it has on it. I believe they're P tires, but I'm not 100% certain. Off the top of my head, I only know they're Pirelli Scorpions on the stock 20" wheels. I'll have to wait until I get home to check the tires, since I drove my car to work today.

 

Those are P series. What pressure are you running them Make sure you have them at the recommended pressure.

 

Not sure what the pressure is. Haven't checked in a little while. And I can't remember which vehicles run what at our house (F150, Explorer, Porsche Cayman, 2 Harleys). I'll check the pressure and add air as needed. However, I know the pressure wouldn't correct the roll to the degree I'd like. If the pressure was that low, the TPMS would let me know.

 

haha yeah but on a serious note my old 05 had hardly any body roll when it was stock and it wasnt bad when i lifted it either

 

I'd bet my Jeep makes your Tundra feel like a go cart ; )

 

I too would like to eliminate much of the body roll in my 07 F150. I have 54k on the original shocks and I am rolling on stock 18" with OEM size good-for-a-years. Are the 5100's the shock of choice for this? Any other recommended shocks?

 

Where's the roll, though - front or rear? Does it seem equally distributed? Do you have a sway bar up front? Regardless, change those shocks to Bilstein 5100s and see how she feels from there. I guarantee you that you will think you stepped into a different truck. Good shocks will make even the worst tires seem stickier (notice that I said "stickier", as in stickier than they were - I did not say "sticky"). You can go with the Bilstein HDs if you want to be stiffer and more responsive than stock, but don't want to be so stiff that it feels like a Volkswagen Gulf (and I mean that in a good way).
