Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My '97 F150 had 88,000 miles & original shocks. It was hobby-horsing badly & lacked reassuring stability. After taking the old shocks out, I found one front & one rear shock weren't working; when compressed by hand, they stayed compressed. The new ones made a vast difference in comfort, handling & stability. If changing front shocks from the original, besides more common sizes you'll need a 20mm open end wrench & a 20mm deep socket (6 point best). You'll probably need a lot of liquid wrench also. Be aware the small studs that secure the bottom end of the front shock in the control arm don't come out. If you want to replace them, you'll have to buy new control arms or drill them out. The rear shocks come with a plastic restraining band that you should leave on until you get the shocks almost completely in place if you're crawling under the truck as I did, not having a lift. To take off the original rear shocks you'll need a 3/8 drive 18mm deep socket (the 1/2 drive 18mm socket is too long); you'll also need an 18mm stubby open end wrench or a extra capacity 6" adjustable wrench. Good price, good shock.
