I wouldn't have anything Rancho on my truck after the **** poor excuse of shocks they provide for the FX4 package.

Outside of brands, what sorta questions do you have?

Actually not. Those are motorcrafts. But with rancho stickers and colors. Thats all. Manufactured by ford. Thats why theyre called rancho branded.

his did as well...and he replaced them with Bilsteins.

Tux, what's with the statement, are you playing the suck up card or they sarcasm card? I don't care if Rancho made them to Ford's craptastic specs or Ford paid to have Rancho's name on some other craptastic shock. They are both are guilty in my book. Shocks on the FX4 package are bad. Both companies are to blame. That being said, it's a cheap fix.

That being said, the Carli lift system looks to be far better components in my opinion.

Either way, Rancho allows those shocks to represent them (Rancho) as a company. **** poor either way.

Good point, I didn't think about him brown nosing to better the chances of him getting the free lift....his comments make more sense now.

I was genuine about my comments. And not biased one way or another. Sure i didnt like the stock shocks. But i didnt like the non rancho branded shocks on my non FX4 08shocks 6.4...and i dont hold a grudge one towards Ford or rancho. Just is what it is.
