Hello,
I have a 2008 Ford 250 Crew Cab Super Duty 4wd. I would like replace the stock shocks. I’m wanting gas shocks, but I’m not sure if I’m right about this. I need help. Max $ 1500.00 budget. (Possible increase) Thank you! UPDATE: 5100’s on truck. Still need to get some things worked on. I do want to give it a 2” lift. Also need to get new rims. One of the front rims was almost ceased on. Ugly rusty spots here & there. Truck was living its life up in the middle of California by the beach, so the salty air was doing it’s slow damage. Also regular maintenance was neglected. I need to look at the front locking hubs and new tires. I really appreciate everyone chiming in and giving me opinions and help. Apologize for the slow update.

That should be it. I just glanced at the Bilstein website.

Ok, blistens 5100’s for shocks. Should I replace the coil springs in the front?

Next Tier up is is the Bilstein 6112 Front / 5160 Rear. I think the 6112's come with new front springs, mine did when I installed these on my Tundra. |

I went with King Pin Top Shocks
That's the route I would go if you're wanting a performance shock I took my factory shocks off at less than 2000 miles and sold them I'm sure you could find someone selling take offs if you're interested in that route also |

Another vote for Bilstein 5100s. Have them on my F150 and very happy with them.

If you run a leveling kit, do it right when replacing the front shocks, get a Carli Setup, with the adjustable Trac-Bar

(Possible increase) Thank you! is your truck a diesel? if so i would recommend 4 shocks in the front and 2 in the back. i have done that on mine and it makes a world of difference in the ride quality. especially if the truck is lifted. |
