What I did was just order the fronts 1 month and then order the rears the next month. Didn't have enough $$$ to get both at once. Worked just fine

I've never gotten over 50K out of stock shocks... but I like to upgrade stuff.

Same here. If you have the extra money I say change em, you won't regret it, or at least I never have. :dunno:

Mine had 50,000 miles on them when I changed them and they were quite soft...they were also 12 years old.

I just got cheap Monroe shocks but they don't seem to be as stiff as I'd like them, go with Bilstein imo.

At the rate you're going 50K will be 10 years, mine never last 10 years either.

For 99% of the replacement parts I get I go to O'reilly and pick one right in the middle, not the most expensive and not the cheap crap. Things have held together pretty well so far using that process.

i got like 30k out of mine my truck was ridding worse than my brothers F350 unloaded if i wasn't careful bumps in the road would cause my front to skip across the road :eek: and it had bed bounce like crazy.

i got the bilstien 5100s and could not be happier :thumbs: when i installed them my back shocks the stockers took at least 10 minutes to fully extend and my front struts would not come back out on there own. nothing like riding on pretty much leafs and coil springs :fume:
