SuperLift shocks

I resently bought a 4" lift kit for my SuperDuty on E-Bay & was hoping someone could tell me how to tell if the shocks are good or bad ?? With the factory & Rancho shocks I have they will extend when compressed & the SuperLift shocks seems to stay wherever you let go when compressing .. Is this normal , any help would be appreciated .. Scooter

Yeah that's normal. Some shocks rebound and some don't My Rancho RS5000's don't rebound they stay where you extend them at!

SuperLift shocks

from what ive heard superlift shocks just well plain suck. the ride is wayy to soft and everybody who had them with their kit ended up buying different shocks. basically the who reputation of superlift shocks are horrible. i would buy a pair of rancho5000's and not even bother with the superlift shocks.

SuperLift shocks

I changed out my superlift shocks from old 95's 4" lift in about 2000 miles. I ran Ranchos instead and have 4 new ranchos on this truck.


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

I put the Ranco`s on because I didn`t think they SuperLifts seemed right but now they don`t have much downward play in them . Am I going to need to get longer shocks & where. I haven`t seem them anywhere being sold any place .. thanks,
Scooter
