Ford told me that my front left shock is leaking because of my BellTech 3/4 lowering spring.
They said the warranty wont cover the repair because my spring is aftermarket

What should i do now? Change all 4 shocks?
Here are my options!
1. Doetsch Nine Position Adjustable Shocks
2. JDM/QA1 12 Point Adjustable Rear Shocks
3. Other shocks???

What do you guys suggest?
Thank you very much!!!

 

Go with the QA 1, you won't regret it

 

anyone???help???

 

I have no experience myself...But I did want to say how your truck is very sharp...Jeff

 

I'd go with QA1's if you can swing it. I've got'm on all four, great shocks.

Regarding item 2, if you go with the QA1's, I'd suggest putting on fronts and rears. Just make sure you get the correct QA1 shocks for your drop (different shaft length).

 

If it were me, I'd throw the stock springs back on, go to a different dealer and let the warranty cover the shocks. That is BS saying the leak was caused by the belltechs.

 

Thanks for helping me!!

I might go for QA1 shocks but they are kinda expensive.



POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT CONTROL

 

Not necessarily. The stock bilstein stroke was designed for the stock suspension. If the shock absorber bottom out (On Compression), premature failure of the shock absorber could occur. The shock may not be bottoming out, but the dealer is not responsible to determine whether or not that is occuring.

FYI I have had two of the Bilsteins go bad on my 01, one in the front and one in the rear. If you want to go ahead and change shocks, go ahead. But their failure may have nothing to do with your springs.

 

I'll buy QA1 shocks from JDM. Im just wondering who should I talk to?

Do I have to change all 4 shocks? or just the front?
What do you guys have for your lowring suspension?

Thank You!

 

I just bought QA1 shocks front and rear from JDM. I told them about my situation but they didnt give me much suggestion, just told me to replace them.

I hope they'll be here soon!

Thanks guys for replies
