Hey Brew,
Last Fall, I had my rear shocks replaced and leafs re-bushed & re-banded. The shop I took it to is known more for their commercial truck service but alot of ppl with 1/2 tons + bigger go there, because of the service and pricing. Anyway's they recommended this heavy duty Monroe shock for the rears at a good price and said while it was torn down they will give me a decent price on the Monroe fronts. They had a part number specific for my F150 front shocks. I didn't do the fronts, it was leaving there for the body shop work. Needed all the $$$ I had set aside for that job.
Is there a reason you would have to measure for proper length. Have you done something to your truck to need a special length?
By the way, when my buddy at the Dealership seen the rears, he said they were Monroe's top shelf. He couldn't believe the price I got on them with installation. He was really impressed with the leaf spring job and pricing as well.
If you want, I can call for the part #'s for you.

 

These shocks are like new and the ride is great with the exception of the problems I'm having in the front.

When I first installed about two years ago - I hit a dip in the road a certain way and I'd get like a bobble. Didn't happen allot. Now I'm getting front wobble at a certain speed. To install the front - I needed stands under the frame rails and had to floor jack the bottom A-arm up just so I could get a bushing and nut on it. I don't recall ever doing that in the past and I freakin tossed my old shocks long ago, so I don't have nothing to compare to. Sucks

Let me try a few things before you go thru the trouble.

Thanks.

 

yeah the one im thinking of is on about 2-5 acres of land and has cars in this order 4x4 then Ford on the left of the walk way GM on the right then after ford its imports and then on the right would be dodges and after that just a spot called "Old stuff" lol pretty cool place they have set prices on stuff in there 230 bucks for ANY V8 hummmm the powerstrokes a V8 right they got pretty cheap priceing i donno if there are any out by you but i think these are the only 2 in michigan.

bone yard/junk yards i just call um junk yards because all the cars/ trucks are junk lol. yes ive been to a few. Ross towing and the 2 parts galores. Ross towing is nice because its only 4-5 miles away parts galore is a hike but they have alot more cars n trucks.

Woohoo i got 190 bucks Jbrew only 200 more for dyno tuning!!!

You know anyone who would wanna buy some 4.6L police interceptor parts?

 

There's nothing special about the interceptor - engine wise. - Or you would use it

 

Well, I picked up those shock extenders yesterday. I didn't take a pic of them, but I caught one in this pic, lower right hand corner -



They didn't fit, wrong thread pattern and wouldn't of worked anyway. So I went back out and picked up some different bushings for the top. Wider bushings. The urethanes I had on there weren't doin the job and were the problem this time. I tested last night and the shimmy is gone at 45 mph, I hope it lasts.

Hard to believe the bushings made the steering wheel jerk back and forth at 45 mph, but that was it.

 

i know theres nothing speical just tryin to sell them so i can go get dyno tuned

 

Good thing you mentioned it, I am also about to have my rear shocks refilled. Just where exactly is that shop located? Thanks in advance.

What are you talking about ? What's with that Rip off Auto parts warehouse link in your sig ? Their bad news.

 

eww i hate those soldering guns. burn wires to easily.

 

Their heavy too, it's a dual stage so I don't burn wires. Pencils take to damn long - at least the ones I have. I burn wires when I get p^ssed and get the mini torch out.

 

This happened a couple times. I turn the key to start and the starter catches just for a second then nothing? Like I have a bad conection or something. ??

Went over it, I can't find nothing. It's only done it twice in the last month.

Funny thing is, when it happens, I pull the keys from the ignition and use the remote - fires right up

 

Btw - Raised her up about 2" -

Before -



After -



Doesn't look like it in the pics, but I did ..Honest!

 

Remote starter locking out the run circuit?
