I ordered up a set tonight, can't wait to get them installed. With the Rancho promotion and price matching, it ends up nearly half price from Summit. 
I went with RS999042 front and RS999254 rear for a 350 SRW stock height. I'm hoping this calms down the 45mph shake n bake!

Well I am finally going to get these on theis weekend. Checked and all the bushings are correct.
My questions is what is the consensus on the boots? Should put them on or does it really matter. I have heard 2 thoughts...keeps dirt out and keeps dirt in.
Thoughts????
Also, I have to say Summit was great. Helpful on the phone, shipped out the same day and got them the next. Highly recommend them, especially with the price match.

Going to post this here as i didn't get any replies in the other thread.....
Has anyone checked the torque on what you had already done against the specs that were posted in another thread?
shock lower nut: 66 lb-ft
shock upper nut and washer: 52 lb-ft
Want to make sure these are correct.

I just ordered from Summit, it appears that they are getting tired of price matches for TruckAdOns... They refused to match because the web site doesn't list part numbers... So I had them match to Autoplicity.
Should have them next week. First person at Summit was not real helpful, the second was very helpful.

from 4wheelonline.com, this past week as I was out of town, but they are here with the correct as requested shocks, now to get them installed and get the rebate sent out my total cost will be $219 plus a stamp - so I don't think that's bad.Rich / N1NCZ

I ordered a full set of Rancho 9000s for my stock 2011 F250 from Amazon. I'm a full-time desk jockey with a basic knowledge of tools and how things work (thanks pops). It took me about 1.5 hours from start until everything was cleaned up and put away.
I might have things set a little soft but with the rough spring roads in my part of the world, the truck rides a lot smoother.
First warm day of spring here. Cool to be outside with a tee shirt enjoying a holiday from work while the wife worked.

The old FX4 shocks did like others posted. When fully compressed, they stayed shut. I'm not sure if that's a real test, because if I pull it apart closer to the operating range, they open up. Rides good anyway and can't beat the price.

My truck had the black shocks. The old rear shocks seemed fine. The front shocks, once compressed, they stay compressed. When going over a rough road, I seemed to run out of front shocks. The new shocks are much smoother bit it's still a truck.
