Let me be the first to say that although others will chime in, the 5100 series shocks are the absolute best enhancement for this truck (F250) and I honestly will continue to buy them after each set wears out! Ford should have paid to offer these 5100 series shocks as an OEM upgrade for its F-series customers! Huge improvement that is beyond noticeable in ride quality and performance offroad...I understand anything beyond 5100 is for the lifted trucks, but my F250 is a 2011 model Platinum and its stock height. I was told that if I leveled my truck up to 1.5" (which I never did) that these 5100 shocks would be the models to choose.

These shocks are for stock ride height. You should be looking at the Bilstein 5100 for the lift.

Check the part numbers for 3156 and 3157 and take a chance. That's what i did and it worked on an 06 F250.

I went with this: Monroe 911501 Reflex Monotube Shock Absorber. This is the link:http://www.amazon.com/Monroe-911501-Reflex-Monotube-Absorber/dp/B000EQATEC/ref=au_as_r?ie=UTF8. The truck has rode awesome since putting these shocks on. I will never buy any other shocks for my trucks again. I have tried several more expensive shocks that don't even compare.

Yes, this is the correct kit for your truck. If your current front shocks are in good working condition there is no need to replace them. Adding 2.5" is still within the working range of most stock length shocks. However, if your shocks are worn or if you do much off-road driving, you may want to consider upgrading to a longer shock. Most shock manufacturer's offer a shock that is 2-3" longer to accommodate leveling kits. Since the installation of the leveling kit is the same as the installation of new shocks, it may be a good time to do it. We recommend the Bilstein 5100 series shocks. They are a good high-quality shock that works well with the leveling kit. Installing this leveling kit to the front of your truck will have no affect on the rear suspension.

You should not need longer shocks. I just recently put these on my 2000 F-150 2WD and am still using the stock shocks. You shouldn't "need" anything else for installation. But keep in mind the age of our trucks. Things will likely break when you start ripping them apart or you may find things in need of replacement while you're under there. I had two bad ball joints and another on its way out so I replaced all four while I was there. Your end links will likely break when you take them apart so expect to replace those (less than $10). Other than that it's just a bit of hard work. Good luck if you decide to install them on your truck, I love the way they look on mine. You should not need longer shocks.

No, theyre not the same. Trans oil w/ShockProof is only for tranny application. For primary , use Primary oil, or else any synthetic 20-50 for motorcycle application.

If its the same body style as my 2006. Spring over shocks. Very easy to install. You'll need a 17 mm box end or socket. On the bottom its a bolt with a nut plate. I like these and recommend them. If u have the right tools it will b 15 minutes per side.

I own a 1995 F 350 Powerstroke that's has a 4R100 tranny.I have the Derale 14208 on my truck works great. You might look at a temp Gauge to go with it youll be surprised how much the temps drops.

The right and left shock are different part numbers. They must be ordered separately. Go to rancho.com to get the required part number.

Sorry, I have a F-250 so couldn't tell you. Try asking Stromberg Carlson directly.

I dont know exactly but it is a noticable difference. Accelaration is greatly improved, top speed does not change much. But u do need a bigger muffler to dampen the sound.

My F250 takes a 912 bulb. Check to see if yourd is the same. Sylvania has a good guide on there website.

When i punch in that number for my F-250, its says they are the wrong lowers. Any thoughts, i cant seem to find them.

This is for the 04-08 ford f150 stock coil over shock/spring. This spacer bolts to the top of the stock coil over unit. You don't need to buy shocks or springs separately.

It well just not as desired especially the v6 model and the extra weight. Don't do it you'll ruin your shocks and have to replace everything maybe spending hundreds if u have someone doing it or maybe at the least 200 if u do it. These things are a joke. Buy quality with the spring already attached to the strut
