I just installed four Monroe Gas Magnums on my 1999 4x4 F150 and I am very happy with them. For $28 each they are a great alternative to shocks I've used on my other 10th gens like Rancho and Bilstein. In my opinion they ride just as good if not better for around half the price.

The truck rides 100x times better with the new Monroe's. I've had this truck for about three months and I can't believe I waited this long to do something about the terrible ride. Now that my 2002 is dead and gone it's time to start fixing up the 99.

I ordered them from rockauto and saved almost $100 over local prices, even with shipping. It is nice buying local to get the free lifetime replacement but it wasn't in the budget this time.

Don't mind the bed liner/undercoating crap the previous over sprayed all over the bottom of the truck randomly.

 

Did exactly the same thing to my truck and am very happy.
