F-250 or F-350 Shocks?

[SeventyMach1]

This forum is engine/drivetrain. I see no suspension forum. Forgive me if this is the wrong place.




I can get a set of 350 Bilstein shocks for cheaper than a set of 250 Bilstein shocks. Any drawbacks or advantages to this? I know the fronts are the same ... but the rears are different. That is the limit of my knowledge so far.



Also ... has anyone used both the Bilstein's AND Edelbrock IAS's? I would like to know which is better .... in durability/quality and comfort.

The rears are longer in the F 350. The F 350 has taller blocks on the springs and raises the truck a couple of inches more. You will LOVE the Bilsteins!!!

Thanks.



So are the 350 ones better?



I think the P.O. put 350 stuff on the truck anyway, but I am not sure. Mine sits higher in the rear than other 250 4x4's for some reason.

dont know what or where youre getting quotes from but....check
eshocks.com & shockwarehouse.com before you buy.

Checked eshocks. Same part number on eBay was cheaper after shipping.

do you get the lifetime warranty w/ EBAY ??? typically NOT...proceed w/
caution...buying from an unauthorized dealer will leave you out in the
cold when it comes to warranties.
