Swap Out Your Old Ford F-150 Shocks & Struts
The factory struts and shocks that come on your truck are fine, but think about the possibilities with high-quality Ford F-150 shock absorbers, struts, and other suspension parts. First and foremost, upgrading your shocks and struts will make it easier for you to make room for bigger wheels and tires. Plus, you may need some bigger shocks and struts to accommodate a lift in the first place. So, the first benefit many enthusiasts will notice is more flexibility because many aftermarket options will give you some wiggle room, usually a two to three-inch range.
Another benefit of upgrading your shocks and struts is how comfortable your ride can be, especially if you spend a ton of time in your truck. The right suspension system can make driving your truck feel like you’re driving on the clouds. Aside from being comfortable behind the wheel, upgraded Ford F-150 struts and shocks can tighten your handling and improve the way your truck handles off-road driving. Not only will your truck handle better, but with the right parts, you won't be bouncing around the cabin the entire time, which makes off-roading a lot more enjoyable.
Choose the Right Ford F-150 Shocks and Struts
Before you even consider the type of Ford F-150 shock absorbers that you want, or even the brand, start with how you drive. Are you driving a lifted truck that's three inches higher than the factory ride height? If so, consider shocks and struts that are designed for that ride height range. On the other hand, if you may level out your suspension or raise it an inch or two in the future to accommodate some bigger and meaner wheels and tires, make sure you choose shocks and struts that can accommodate that extra ride height.
One of the more interesting prospects is air shocks for your Ford F-150. Unlike a traditional suspension, air suspension systems rely on bags that are filled with compressed air and a compressor that inflates and deflates the bags. Most systems automatically adjust by inflating and deflating based on road conditions, which creates one of the most comfortable driving experiences around. Plus, some systems allow you to control the ride height at will, so if you want to drop it for highway driving and raise it for a little off-roading, you can't go wrong with this setup.
There's a lot to consider when choosing Ford F-150 struts, shocks, and other suspension parts, and while it can be overwhelming, our sales techs always have your back.
