I know that most people on this forum use Rancho 5000,9000 or Bilstein 5100 and 7100s as a replacement for your OEM Ford labeled Rancho shocks. I opted to go a different route based on the reviews and information I was able to find on the Skyjacker m95s. I just finished installing them about an hour ago and am ready to provide my feedback.

They are amazing! These shocks have truly smoothen out the road and make my truck a pleasure to drive instead of a bumpy mess. I rate them a 10 out of 10 hands down. They make your truck feel more like a new Tahoe and less like a 3/4 ton truck. They are great looking, perform better (in my opinion) than Bilstein and cost far less yet carry the same lifetime warranty.

I purchased mine from Autoanything for $69ea plus a 15% off promo plus a $55 mail in rebate plus free shipping. Outstanding value and worth every penny.

I wanted to feel more comfortable before purchasing so I called their HQ in Louisiana and spoke to the technical rep who helped design them. He describes them as a stronger and slighty better performing shock than the Bilstein 7100s. They are very proud of this product and I can see why. Ill post some pictures later so you can see what they look like.

 

Pictures as promised. One thing I would like to note is that their sealing system is supposed to be so good that there is no longer a need for a boot. Also, the tube on the front is actually mounted up instead of down like some other brands.

 

Well they look good & u cant beat that price, thanks for sharing

 

I have had skyjackers on other trucks before. They were great. Nice choice.

 

Yeah, these shocks are really amazing. I am very suprised how much better my truck handles, rides, and feels. My wife and daughter no longer complain. It's really that impressive! Best upgrade to date! Highly recommended.

Plus they give me room to add my 2" level I just ordered

I got them from Autoanything.

You can't beat the fact that they are:
1. Monotube shocks
2. Lifetime warranty
3. Extremely great value!
4. 80% improvement in ride comfort and quality!
5. Simple to install
6. look great!
7. Don't require a dust boot.

 

So I just put a set on my 06 this afternoon. Also treated it to a Bilstien 5100 steering damper. I didn't really get a chance to put any real miles on it, but the few I did, were a fugue improvement. They replaced what may have been the originals at 78k miles. I am sure that anything would have been an improvement.

Hope you don't mind my input, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

 

I'm not sure how much of an improvement you would see on a 06 model. I can tell you that the 2011+ FX4 with the horrible OEM shocks ride HORRIBLE. I've ran Bilstein 5100 shocks on my former F250 as well as a 2002 Silverado 2500HD. They were a great shock and a great price but these M95s are a great shock at a greater price. I actually prefer the performance of the M95s to the 5100....I'm sure some will see my opinion as purely subjective...I'm cool with that
