I assumed that the stock shocks were not flexing as smoothly as they aged; they seemed much smoother when newer. Would there be other suspension components in play here that I should be looking at? I'd just like it to be like it was 50k miles ago!
If you want it like it was 50k miles ago, why not just buy the stock Ford parts? Also, Monroe makes shocks for our rigs, but I don't know anyone who's used them. I think, but haven't confirmed, they are less expensive than Bilsteins.
Edit: The Monroes are about $12 cheaper per shock than the Bilsteins. Not much, but it adds up.

I think I'd like to go with the Bilsteins over the Monroes, especially without a big price difference. I was actually wondering if that would be the difference between the Bilstein Heavy Duty shocks versus their Comfort shocks, handling versus smoothness. I was wondering what others had found.
Putting a pair of Koni's in the back sounds like a good compromise; the front isn't bad still. I wish the closest installer wasn't 200 miles away!
