fx4 shocks

Are the shocks on the fx4 different than the other f150 packages. I have an 04 scab 3.73 fx4 and am not impressed with the shocks at all. If I hit a pot hole or bump in the road my whole rearend shimmys and bounces. Just wondered.

Unless they've changed what Ford used to do on the '97-'03 FX4 trucks, the Rancho's that you have are not real Rancho's, just more or less factory OEM's that were repainted.

You should upgrade to some Bilsteins. I dumped the stock shocks on both my 04 and 06 FX4s as soon as I took delivery. They take all those nasty effects of stock shocks away, and provide a flat firm ride.

www.bilstein.com You can get the part numbers for your particular year. The pricing listed on their site is their list pricing, so dont get worried when you see the figures! You can find the rear shocks for around 70 online.
