I need to replace the shocks/struts on my F150 and would like to go with Bilstein leveling struts on the front. Has anyone around Huntsville had this done and can recommend where to go? Not real sure I want to rent a spring compression tool...they look dangerous and I have no experience with them. I can do the rear shocks myself. Thanks.

Alabama	The rear shocks should be no problem I have changed the rear shocks on my Tundra but I will let some one that knows what they are doing change the struts.

Personally, I would use a strut spacer. http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-F150-2-FRONT-LEVELING-LIFT-KIT-2004-2015-2DW-4WD-F2-0T-NG-/121595260427 I've had good luck with these guys from Georgia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3VcbZJOCPw Rear shocks are a no brainer. Take your kids hunting instead of hunting your kids. I'd rather be LOST in the woods than FOUND in the city. Drive a hybrid, I need your gas. Your mind is your primary weapon. Never let it get rusty.
