I have Rough Country Nitro Monotubes on my XJ. They're about $36 a pop. I got the ones for 2"-4" of lift. I know $36 is a little over your price range but I'm extremely satisfied with mine. Alot of people will say get Bilstiens but not everyone wants to pay $80+ for a twin-tube shock. Monotube is better if you do any sort of off-roading and will sacrific some ride quality. My XJ rides a ton better than it did with the stock shocks for sure though.

JC Whitney. Fast shipping too.

thebrow89

any idea how much shipping was?

It was free for orders over $75 at the time, but the cheapest of the other options was around $10 or so I think.

What year F150, I got a 4.5 bastard pack and I wouldn''t mind going with a cheaper shock,

You could find some stock shocks and use these:

It only works for the rear and you can fab something up for the front very easily with angled steel.

I got my skyjacker hydros from 4wd hardware for $32 a piece but that was 2 years ago. I'm not sure of the price now.

I would go with rusty's shocks. There $30 a piece and there a higher valving. They ride a lot nicer than a hydro shock.

Commanche rear shocks are 3" longer, provide stock feel, are cheap.
Only drawback is you will have to transfer the barpin over from your XJ shocks.

Or make some Barpin elemenators out of your rear sway bar end links.
