My 71 is coming along nicely and the next project is to replace the shocks and spring bushings. I remember reading somewhere on this forum (this forum has been a life-saver) that there was a prefered shock for the 3/4 ton highboys. Can someone enlighten me as what shock would be best and where a fellow might be able to order them? Also, I have not been able to find poly bushings but LMC has stock replacements, are they an ok fit?
I will put an update in the gallery to show what has been done so far.

I went with Doesch on my 2wd Prerunner set up. They were good to deal with. On the spring bushings, I bought some from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard I am sure Moog makes a good set as well.

Don't know if these are right for your truck http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ens-4 ... odel/f-250 but I bought a set for my F100 2wd and they were a perfect fit. Give them a call to be sure http://www.energysuspension.com/assets/ ... atalog.pdf They're tech line is knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
