shocks

Is there a big difference in ride quality between the FX4 shocks and the regular shocks? Don,t know anyone with another truck like mine to test for myself. Thanks.

Re: shocks

the fx4 shocks r just ford shocks with rancho logo...they r not legit...any real shock (rancho, bilstein [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], edelbrock) will be 10 times better than fords

Re: shocks

You wouldn't think that Ford would be allowed to do that. It just don't seem right.

Re: shocks

What they do both have in common is that they are both junk... Bilstein all the way, you wont get a better ride from a superduty.

Re: shocks

They probably have an agreement with rancho on the use of the name and color scheme. If you notice in the brochure it says rancho branded shocks and not actually rancho shocks,they are branded with ranchos name.
