Fox shock guys

I was putting a set of airbags on tonight and I can compress the ranchos by hand to put the boot in can you do that with the fox shocks?

No, I could barley compress them when they were off the truck and putting my full weight on them. Had to use a floor jack to compress them to install.

It would take arms larger than mine to compress them into their seats. Watch the Fox Shock video to see how I used a floor jack to compress the shock. The OEM shocks were no problem.

To clarify.... by 'ranchos' are you referring to the OEM 'rancho branded' FX4 shocks??? Or, are they aftermarket ranchos???
