Looking for some options for replacing the front struts. Up to this point, my plan was to run gen 2 rear shocks and purchase new OEM gen 1 struts for the front. Problem with that - the OEM struts are on national backorder with no ETA according to Tasca. Is there another aftermarket option that's similar in price that would work well with gen 2 rear shocks? This truck is a weekend toy, so spending 2k+ on a shock package is not an option. Trying to keep the cost down. Reason for not rebuilding the front struts is that the shock body is worn and I want something that looks new.

Side note - why is every Ford part on national backorder constantly?
