I have new Fox 2.0 shocks on order, these new trucks are blowing the factory black and Rancho branded shocks like crazy, they must have cheapend up on them. My left rear is starting to leak at 6000 miles.

 

That's a shame after investing so much in a new truck.

 

I put the same ones on my truck. Love them and an easy install too. You won't be disappointed. You can also, if you want to spend the money, get the valve tuned for your specific truck and useage as well as being rebuildable if they begin to leak. Don't put shock boots on them either. They will actually collect dirt and debris and hold moisture in rather than protect them. Good choice!

 

Got them today, I was told on the 2017 forum that the roost shields will only fit in one location.

 

Like I said earlier the install isn't complicated, but it is physically difficult. The rears really tested me. I ended up using a jack to compress them up to the lower mounts. Even letting the rear suspension droop fully it wasn't enough to get the shocks in. They needed to be compressed about 4 inches to reach the mounts. The fronts were no problem. Put the bottom in first then lean on em with your body weight and the compress enough to get in. I dont know what the "right" way to do it is but thats how I did it!

 

All 4 shock on, I know the jack trick, have used it before. I used the same trick on the fronts, using a socket between the shock and jack made it easy. I added roost shields on the rear they wont fit on the fronts. For information, the roost shield wont fit on the l/h rear shock on a '17 350 or 250 with the HD trailer tow package. standard 250 they both fit.

 

how are you liking the shocks?

 

Great so far, much better ride, will be towing next week so I can see how they are with the TT.
