Suspension question

[drdfblackm]

Ok I am looking to get 33's under my 99 F150. I don't have the cash to do a $1500-2000 lift but I know I need new shocks for sure. I was looking at the torsion key and block packages from RCX and Tuff Country. Any recommendations, I will be off road a bit but nothing too extreme...mostly highway and winter driving.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Crank your stock keys and they will fit no problem for free.Also you can put 2" Add a leafs in the back for $50 .

Would I be a complete idiot for going with one of the premade kits with shocks....since I need shocks anyway...is it still a waste of $$??

 

[Big'un]

yes.... dont buy hydraulic shocks either.... u need gas shocks

 

[drdfblackm]

Why gas over hydraulic....never heard this before???

Places to look for good suspension deals?

 

[Big'un]

Hydraulic shocks ride like shat! I replaced my gas shocks with hydraulic shocks and they ride terrible , everytime i hit a bump it throws me and the truck around.....

Rough Country or 4 wheel parts
