F150 Interchangable Parts

Miles Whitney · Dec 14, 2018

Hello all. 2007 el Eddie Bauer with rear air. Its time to replace my front brakes and I want to do the struts at the same time. I’m wondering what years F150 struts/ leveling kits are compatable with my expy. I plan on keeping the rear air for now and running these :

In the front I’m wondering if these would fit:

I know they show the wrong LCA bracket in the picture but I don’t see why they would t fit otherwise.

Help me decide between Monroe struts with a puck, Rancho easylift or bilstein 6112. It’s currently my wife’s daily driver but I want to take it over and lift it some with A/T tires.

Those should work just fine. Just knock out the mounting bar and use your factory bolt in the eyelet.

No way I would stick Monroe on there.

FYI - the Bilstein 6112's for the F-150 are a bit longer. Not sure if this results in more down-travel, as the Upper Control Arms are likely the limiting component. The Bilstein springs are also a tad longer. This combo is better than stock. But I do wish the struts had a bit more rebound damping.

LCA bracket is 2014-2017 compatible... imho don't bother, even if it is removable that price is HORRIBLE and the unmounted but included spring is just wth?

I got all four corners preassembled rancho for like 650 shipped after rebates. The bilsteins may be better... but not 3x better

That’s debatable. Based upon ones plans.
If you want more lift than 1.25” you still have to add a spacer adding to the cost.
The Bilstein is a much bigger bodied tube allowing better cooling and performance. Plus Bilstein is just a flat out better built Shock with lifetime warranty.

Only hand up Rancho may have is the adjustable dampening settings.

I meant the price... 2 shocks 2 springs, no hardware, not assembled at a similar price to 4 preassembled ready-to-install coilovers with all parts and warranty
