I have a 2019 F250 that I recently picked up from the dealer and with all the death wobble talk I'm planning to just switch to Fox shocks and stabilizer. It's nice to work on it while it's nice and clean. Looks like a simple job but I have a question about the plastic retainer for a tube on the drivers side top shock stud. How do you get that retainer off and out of the way to get the shock nut off? You can see it in the photo below:

 

Mine just slid right off the top. Pull up.

 

 

Thanks. So the tube moves enough to get that retainer off the stud?

 

 

Here's a tip, if you have a L-O-N-G extension and an impact gun, you can reach the upper shock nut from above, from the engine compartment - nut "zips" right off.

 

Same here - mine just slipped right off..... Installed Fox 2.0 shocks... slid right back on.

 

That's the differential vent tube. Make sure you replace it in its original place.

 

Thanks everyone for the info! BTW, where is a good place to order a set of four IFP 2.0 Fox shocks from for a stock height 2019 F250 4x4?

 

I ordered mine from Stage 3 motorsports, the BDS valved version.
