Always love looking underneath, thanks. As for the shocks my Truck was a 99 F350 7.3 CC XLT bought in 98. 200,000 miles everything stock even the shocks. Changed all fluids when called for. Did not burn oil or leak oil, sold for 16k. Worked it on the Farm and towed Tractor, hay and our RV. Hope the 17 can live up our 99. To bad I got the Rancho shocks. Oh well Ill change them when they go bad. Thank you for the PICs.

The Rancho branded shocks seem to be of a better quality than those in the past…..time will tell but they are definitely better than they used to be…..that said I wouldnt say they are better than the stock ones, just saying they may be as good as the stock ones now.

I sold a 1995 F250 7.3 with 85k miles on it for the 2017. It still brought $11,500. I was the original and only owner of it. Going to miss it but a lot less after the 17 was delivered.

If those are GY with Kevlar good luck with them. They may be Kevlar but aren't worth a darn. I put them on my 16 F150 and picked up a steel wire from somebody's tire into my sidewall. My nephew has the same tires on his new Tacoma and got a damaged sidewall as well. I am going with Toyo or Nitto on my new truck
