Ok guys, I have been under my truck trying to figure out what shocks I need for my fronts. I have an 05 f150 screw 4x4...the ONLY number I can find is 4L34-18A047-AC which is a part number for the dust cover. Is there anyway I can find out what shock absorber that boot goes to so I can cross reference it for an upgraded shock...Ill be going with rancho as I run the rs5000 series on the rear....thanks in advance.

 

Your truck has struts in the front. Here are the part numbers for the correct replacements from three manufacturers.

RS5767 Rancho

71361 Monroe

341602 KYB

 

Will it make a difference if its lifted.I have a lift that came on the truck when I bought it.. thats why I wanted to cross reference what it has on now to what part would mimic the correct fit. If thats the ones I need Ill order them up. Thanks

 

What size lift? It will matter.

2005 F-150
0" RS5767
4" RS5769
If around 2.5" we offer the loaded strut RS999910QL

 

I just got under there and the part number from ford motor company is a sachs 5L34-18045-DD....does Rancho have something to mimic that type?

 

also has the numbers 814904570108

 

Looks like from a google search that is an OE strut (from Rock Auto)
Do you have a spacer in there?

EDIT just got your PM too.

mine has a spacer. Top to bottom its 2 1/2 inch. What control arm do I go for? My ball joints are shot. Can I go with stock arms still?
