$25/ea from Sunrise

My truck is a '12 with ~35k miles. I've had rattling and creaking doors since new, like any other superduty. I've read comments about replacing the original door strikers with those from a newer F-150 that have additional rubber molding. Finally did it this week and the results are better than expected.

The doors now shut with a thump instead of a metallic thunk. Bumps that would've rattled the doors no longer make a sound. Overall, the cab seems more solid- almost like the tension on the doors is adding rigidity to the entire cab.

It's an easy swap and I think these strikers will fit a wide range of year models. Well worth $100.

I think I'll get these. Thanks for posting this. My truck is new and has a hollow sound when closing the doors- cab is solid no rattles when driving but this may be a good replacement just for kicks.

Same here, maybe it'll fix the cab flex when entering driveways.

I'll be in La Porte around lunch time and then heading back to League City in the afternoon. I can probably leave a striker in your bed or whatever so long as plant security won't shoot me...

Hahaha yeah they probably won't let you in brother. Gotta have a parking pass to get in and they check every time. I'm off this Sunday so I could probably meet up if you aren't too busy.
