How cheap are you getting these shocks? I have my doubts they are any better than the standard shocks the other trucks get, they might even be the same shock with just a fancy paint job like the old "Rancho" shocks the FX4 trucks used to come with. If it was me I'd spend the money on a nice set of Rancho 9000s or some Fox shocks.
Don't know about the fitment sine the Tremor sits a little higher but if you change the ride height of the front of your truck it will change the alignment some.

Higher or lower springs would affect caster.
I dont think the tremor springs bring it up more than 1/2-1 inch so its probably fine.
The frame and axles are the same so I assume the shocks would mount up.

Yes, you could put Tremor shocks on a non Tremor without changing any springs. Did you find some Tremor take off's, cheap?

Before you spend too much on a set of Tremor take offs, make sure you know the mileage and don't spend too much. My rear Tremor shocks were toast at 11k miles. Replaced all 4 corners with Bilstein 5100's.

A little off topic, having difficult time finding imperial data (like consumer report/popular mechanics) that take an unbiased look at the actual performance and endurance of the more common truck shocks, other than the flames that gets thrown around on forums

To be honest the tremor doesn’t have a single part on it that I would spend money on to add to any other super duty.
for the most part the truck is not very much different. And if you look at any parts that might be different between tremor and say an FX4 truck…..there’s an aftermarket equivalent part that’s a lot better than what comes on tremor.

There was a post yesterday on which shock do you like. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s....php?t=1686517
I like the Tremor shocks because they have a built in hydraulic bump stop. The Tremor springs are about 3/4" higher depending on which springs you have and which Tremor springs you get based on weight. Somebody just bought a new tremor and tried a set of Bilstein 5100's replacing his Tremor shocks. He put the Tremor shocks back on because it gave him a better ride. The new Bronco is coming out with new shocks that have position damping and they, I believe, are being made by Bilstein. I don't know who is making the Tremor shocks?

I don't know, and have not seen a shock body that looks exactly the same, but I believe Tenneco manufacturers OE shocks for some of the auto makers including Ford, or I should say, possibly including Ford. They also own Monroe and Rancho. I haven't had a Tremor shock in hand, are there any markings, logos, "made in.." anywhere on it?
