I noticed one of my rear shocks is leaking a bit. Can one recommend a good replacement? Looks like Ford does not make the OEM's ones anymore. Remember 'Ford has a better idea' and 'At Ford Quality is Job 1' :D

I replaced mine with Monroe Super Duty (or Severe Duty...can't remember) back in '12 or '13 (which is why I can't remember the exact name) and they have been great.

I highly recommend the Ridetech's, if it's in your budget and you plan to keep the car for a while. The price is a little hard to swallow but the ride is so much better than aftermarket replacements and you'll never have to buy another set with the million mile warranty.

KYB used to sell shocks- poor man's KONI's. IIRC the severe service mentioned above were/are Monroes.
