    '08 Suspension refresh time - Options?

    My 2008 XLT 4x4 is sitting at 223k miles and the suspension is getting a little tired. I also needed new brakes and wheel bearings. I figured while I had everything apart to do those I might as well upgrade the struts. My use case is mainly fire roads up to some very mild offroading, eg. 4x4...

    Hi Guys, Where to start? About a year ago I put on a 3/2 ready lift on my 2015 4WD King Ranch Expy but left the shocks/coil overs/UCA's etc. all stock, with the exception of the driver rear.
