Really ???
OH - you mean Ford's knock off of the ranchos they use for stock shocks ?!?!?!
I promise you the stock Ranchos are not at all related to the 9000's :-)
Just like everything, there are all different levels of quality when you only want to pay a few bucks for something that cost more :-)
but understand your concern !

the stock shocks on the Ex are "marginal" (and I'm being VERY nice to use that word
Much better ride with the ranchos and rear sway bar ...

The Rancho's that came from the factory are junk. Dealer already replaced one and now I have another one that's leaking. Only 27K on the truck so they are comming off.

Thanks I suspecting that a wheel hoping at 40 mph is being caused by a bad shock
