I would do the fronts if I had the time and the spring tool. I would have no idea how to do that though

You can get the spring tool at Advance or Auto Zone. They loan them out with a deposit, you get the deposit back when you bring the tool back.

yeah but i'm scared 
I understand the fear. I wasn't thrilled doing the entire front end on my impala. Scary compressing that spring.

yeah I like my limbs so I don't wanna mess with a spring compressor 
If the shops around here want a lot for the front ones than I'll do it myself, just take a day off and do it

Taking it one modd at a time....
the springs on these f150 are tough buddy! i would just pull out and the struts and take them to a shop and let them swap the shocks for you. it will save you some cash.

These Bilstein rear shocks are also some tough bastards. J-rods method wont fully work here, its best to jack up each end one at a time by floor jack and get some truck weight off the shock, remove OEM, then un-slip the zip tie thing from the shocks and install them, one side at a time. Took me & my bud 15 mins. Shoot the bolts with some WD-40 or PB Blaster for 10 min and go at it
Are you a man or a mouse?
