Hey all,
Would it be a waste to remove new 2005 FX4 stock shocks to be replaced with Billstein shocks or just keep the stock shocks and raise the front with a leveling kit?
any ideas? or pics?

 

Different shocks are not going to do the same as a leveling kit. What are you wanting to do?

 

You will have an improved ride with the bilsteins..

 

Bilstein makes a front strut/shock that will add up to 2 inches of front end lift.

 

Yeah what they said.

 

I agree.

 

Doesn't the FX4 come with upgraded shocks?
I want to lift the front end 2 inches.
I know the Billstein shocks are great for that, but I was wondering if it would be just as good to keep the FX4 shocks and get a different leveling kit.
any thoughts?

 

The Bilsteins will be a million times nicer than any factory shock including the crappy FX4 shocks.

Bilstein has a set-up thats perfect for you, check it out on their website.

 

Didn't know that.

 

With the Roush suspension kits are those shocks actually Bilsteins in Roush clothing?

 

Thumper, that is one bad A** looking ford. what are the specs on that? (tire size, lift etc). or is ther a certain place on this site that I can look up your specs?

 

i didnt know biltsien made longer front shocks thats cool.
