i am sure this has been run into the ground, but i cant find my answer in a search.

i have installed my 2.5" AS in the front. looks great and an easy fix. only took 2.5 hours and 3 hits with a regular claw hammer to break the ball joints loose.

as for the rear, i have the 4wd OEM lift blocks and will install them tonight. my question is, do i need to change the stock 2wd shocks to the 4wd shocks?
or will the 2wd shocks work?

btw i have an 06 4x2 SCrew Lariat if that is a factor....thanks

 

I think you do but I dont know for sure.

 

yes you should change your shocks out. b.c if you go over a bump, or have your truck on a lift, the shock will over extend before the shocks are finished unloading. If you were going the other way like removing 4x4 blocks you would be okay.

blocks came in today, but they have a piece of metal sticking out the side. does that go to the inside or outside? i know top and bottom, just dont know front to back.

 

that horn should be facing to the inside of the truck, and flat top of the horn facing up.

that allows you to still hit your factory bump stops.

sweet thanks, that was what i needed. i will be installing them tomorrow and new shocks on fri.

 

i would do the install with the shocks... And just making sure, but you got longer U bolts too?

 

yes i have the longer ubolts. i am going to ford today to order the shocks, if they dont ahve them in stock. they should be in tomorrow and change them out. thanks again

 

before your go to ford, i would check around and get some bilstean shocks or some rancho 9000s shocks... if your going to buy shocks no reason to go with OEM, with an aftermarket brand you will get better performance... just order then for stock 4x4 height....

 

seems that people love the 9000's and bilstean's i know im gonna need better shocks ive heard the stock fabtechs are junk but i was looking at some Pro Comp MX-6 stocks maybe with the fluid stop seem to be little less expensive than the others and look better as well

 

all good choices from what i hear.. unless you go with the dirtlogic shocks(made by fabtech)
