Fox Shox

Did anyone with a lift notice a huge improvment when they swiched from the white body shocks to fox's or any other upgraded rear shock? I had bilsteins befor and they were a little stiff and I want to upgrade my rear shocks and just wanted to see if there was an improvment in ride quality just by a shock, other then bilstein's because fox's dont come valved for the f150 just general valving.

The shocks in the rear perform very poor here as well.

on my f-350 i noticed a big difference between the so called ranchos and my fox shocks. the fox shocks seem to control the truck better, especially on the freeway.

sorry i have no input to your question, but i was wondering what your lift/tire combo is? I see you have a procomp 6"... any spacers? body lift? etc... and are the tires 35"? looks great!

Fox or Kings would be a huge improvement from anything else. I can't complain about my Bilstein 5150s though, in fact, I loved them so much I bought the 5100s for the front!

Sorry I had school yesterday, ALL DAY f'ing lab's but yeah just a pro comp kit and 35's nothing else yet but dirt logics for the front are on their way now and thinking of going fox's in the rear now, well now I have to, to match the front.
