What Shocks are Best on Classic Ford
Shocks
What do the shocks do? Shocks help keep the tire planted on the road and control the compression and rebound of the springs.
Secret: Your Classic Ford was not designed with gas pressurized shocks in mind. The engineers were designing all the suspension components to use oil shocks...which are largely unavailable now.
Gas shock absorbers
99 percent of what you get
High pressure gas shocks can and often will add spring rate/spring ride height to a suspension. How much is up for debate. I do know that the wagon dropped nearly an inch when we went from the gas to oil shock.
KYB Gas Adjust shocks are arguably one of the most popular low cost options. They are very sporty in ride. $70.00 pair.
Oil shocks (traditional style shock absorber) Roughly 350.00 for a pair of front shocks.
