I did search first so take it easy on me. I think the FX4's have offroad shocks that are different? Did anyone notice harsher ride on pavement than a regular 4X4/?

Thanks!

 

Not on mine, but I didnt drive any other models. Its way smoother than my old xlt and my F350.

 

I can't tell a difference in ride between my previous truck ('04 Lariat) and my current FX4.

 

The FX4s do not have offroad shocks/springs.

 

This is from the 2009 F-150 brochure:

20" 6-spoke machined-aluminum wheels – Includes
sport-tuned shocks (n/a with Regular Cab 126" WB or
SuperCab 133" WB)

It is an option on the FX4 and Lariat.

(2010 brochure says the same thing)

Also... my window sticker on my FX4 says it came with off-road shocks.

 

My 09 FX4 CC rides nice. I test drove an 09 Lariat CC and did not feel any significant difference between the two trucks. I liked the more durable interior (imho) of the FX4 over the lariat.

Weird... I just checked my window sticker and it says nothing about offroad shocks CORRECTION... I was only looking at the options. The Standard equipment says "Off-Road Shcks&Skid Plates"

 

Oh, but they do have the off-road shocks. Unsure if the springs are any different from model to model.

 

FX4s DO have different shocks, the part numbers are different. Although they may look the same they are valved differently.

 

I went from an 07 XLT 4X4 SCREW to an 09 FX4 Screw. The ride in the 09 is very comparible.

I noticed more of a difference in going from the broke in cloth seats to leather than I did the ride itself.
