Shocks for f150/expy compatible?

I traded in my expy, now I need to sell my new Rancho RSX shocks and was wondering what shocks are interchangable.

They were for my 97 expy 4x4. I assume they will work on the other expy up through 03 until the suspension change.

Also, are they the same ones used on f150s?

thanks

Damping characteristcis depend on springs (rear leaf springs on an F150, coils or air bags on an Expy), vehicle weight, and other factors.

F150s and Expy's have vastly different weights and weight distributions (like an empty pickup bed versus a full-boat SUV), so I would be very surprised if the shocks were interchangeable.

If you look at the Rancho site you will see that the 4x4 Expedition and the 4x4 F-150 use the same shock. The part numbers are the same.
