My F150 has 145,000 miles on it with the original factory shocks. They have
been alright up to recently that I noticed the steering was all over the place
on the freeway. I also felt the right front wheel bounce a little too much
when I hit a pothole. You can't do a normal test of bouncing the corner of
the vehicle to see if it springs right back like on your family sedan. A
pickup truck is sprung too hard. In any case, I'm leaning towards the
Bilstein shocks.
