Need 2009 Ford F-150 shocks or struts? This page is catalog-backed ride control for the 12th-gen Ford F-150 (2009–2014), including 2009. It is not F-250/F-350 Super Duty, and it is not Raptor-specific unless a row says so.
KYB Excel-G / Gas-a-Just / MonoMax and Gabriel Ultra / Guardian / HiJackers numbers below come from the U.S. KYB shocks & struts catalog and Gabriel 2018 application guide. Do not mix KYB Europe SKUs onto these rows. 2WD vs 4WD (and air vs coil on some trucks) still change the corner.

12th-gen Ford F-150 (2009–2014) shock shop notes — 2009
These are ride-control shop notes for the 12th-gen Ford F-150 that includes 2009. Numbers come from the KYB U.S. shocks/struts book and the Gabriel 2018 application guide we host under Catalogs — not from torque charts, and not from the KYB Europe PDF.
What usually brings people here
- Nose dive, hollow ride, or a wet shock body → front damper worn out. Start with the Front list on this page and match 2WD/4WD (and air vs coil on Rams) before you order.
- Rear sag under tow, cargo squat, or a floaty highway feel → rear shocks first. If Gabriel lists a HiJackers air shock for this truck, that is the load-assist path — not a substitute for broken leaf springs.
- Clunk that is not a ball joint or sway link → check upper strut mounts / bearing plates when the catalog lists them beside the strut row.
KYB vs Gabriel — how we pick a line
KYB Excel-G 341674 is the OE-style twin-tube daily driver; Gas-a-Just 551134 is the firmer high-pressure monotube when both appear for the same corner — pick one philosophy, don’t mix left/right. Gabriel Ultra G51864 is the premium twin-tube path; Guardian/ProGuard M51864 is the value / fleet alternative when both show up.
While you’re in there
Replace dampers in axle pairs. Inspect bump stops and dust boots while the corner is apart. If the truck also clunks or wanders, see 2009 Ford F-150 suspension parts. If brakes are next, see 2009 Ford F-150 brake parts.
Shop notes only — not a service manual. Use the factory procedure or a Haynes/Chilton manual for wrench work, torque, and safety steps. Leave a comment with 2WD/4WD (and air vs coil if equipped) plus the symptom if you want a part-number check.

Fitment notes
These KYB and Gabriel numbers come from the U.S. KYB shocks & struts catalog and the Gabriel 2018 application guide (plus Gabriel HD only when a 1500 row appears). Year ranges in those books that cover 2009 are expanded onto this page. Mount/boot kits are omitted unless they rode beside a damper row we kept. Do not use KYB Europe application SKUs here.
