 Shocks for f-250 Just bought a new f-250
Shocks on it are a little rough. What shocks you diesel guys running on your trucks? Looking for a good comfortable ride

Re: Shocks for f-250 Seems like my airbags make the ride worse, so when there not in use there deflated. And I only paid like 325-350$ for them and they were very easy to install

Re: Shocks for f-250 I meant something like a "kettleman" (spelling?) Air ride

Re: Shocks for f-250 even if you run airbags you still need shock absorbers. any dual stage shock is going to be a upgrade from the stock junk. like said before call or email shock warehouse. they will set you up for sure.

Re: Shocks for f-250 I just changed the shocks/struts on my Expedition. Got the Monroe QuickStruts. Direct swap from Rock Auto. They are the cheapest. I just looked at the shock warehouse and the same struts are $50/ strut more.
I do suggest if you do the work yourself, if the F250 has coil overs shocks/struts, get the shock/strut/spring assembled. Then you don't have to worry about the sping. Also you get a matched set. Makes for quicker work.

Re: Shocks for f-250 I just put on a set of SkyJacker Hydro 7000's on my f-250. First set had over 70K and were only replaced due to the ball joints going bad and wanted to do eveything all at once.

Re: Shocks for f-250 I haven't replaced the shocks on my Duramax, but I did on my wife's jeep. I know it is comparing apples to oranges on a Jeep Wranger and a 3/4 ton. But here is my results.
It has a 4" lift and had Procrap ES 3000 shocks on it and it rode like a mule wagon. It would jar the fillings out of your teeth. The ride was way worse than my duramax. I switched to the Skyjacker softride Hydro's and they are awesome. Talk about night and day difference. Her jeep is a daily driver around town, but does get driven down trails and dirt roads. I ordered them online from one of those nationwide 4X4 places (cant remember the name). They where on sale for about $35 a piece with free shipping. That Jeep rides like a cadilac now, compared to those old shocks.
Not sure if they make shocks for big trucks, but Old Man Emu makes a very durable shock with a soft ride.

Re: Shocks for f-250 Just put the Skyjacker hydro 7000 on the Jeep, sweet ride. Planning on trying them on the Power Wagon.
Had Old Man Emu on my Toyota, they're sweet also.
