It's finally time to say good by to the Factory Billstiens. One of them is even leaking some oil. So i was wondering what some good replacement options are. Ford wants $185.00 each for factory replacements, so they are out of the question. O'rieley's has Some Monroe's and can order Rancho, but I've heard that Rancho's are pretty much crap. Any opinions on diff. Shock brands would be helpful.

Billstein shocks are probably the best

Can get them cheaper through summitracing.com or jegs.com

I bought the BILSTEIN 5100 Series should be here soon and will go on this summer

There used to be an eBay seller who sold 4 new bilstein shocks for $250. Might want to check that out...

Thanks for the replies guys. My budget has taken quite a hit due to all these repairs at once. Radiator, water pump, wheel bearing, and now shocks. I decided to chance it and take the cheap route. I ordered some Pro comp es1000's, 4 for $99.00. I haven't heard much good about them, but at the moment it's all i can reasonably afford, and one of the tires is already showing signs of wear from the bad shocks. I'll let ya know how they work out though.
