fx4 vs 4x4
#17
hrmm...I never got under there and checked, but was told they were. I guess I shouldn't have assumed that. What the heck makes it an FX4 besides a flow through center console and a different gauge cluster then. Oh well, I'm probably wrong. My Ranger had the bilsteins, I just assumed when my buddy told me that he was correct.

Like I said.... my shocks look the same as the 4x4 shocks. Just plain black. They are definitely not bilsteins and definitely not rancho. Must be valved stiffer or something. Thanks for the help though

None of the 2004+ F150s come with actual Rancho shocks. The previous generation F150s didn't even come with true Rancho shocks. Sure Rancho built them but they were valved to Ford's specs. The new trucks use a shock that is made by Ford but valved differently compared to all of the other models.

Besides the fact the thread is over a year old... lol...
That's something I would love to know too... Does anyone know how the 4x4's height compares to the fx4's? Im pretty sure they are the same... while on the subject, is there a difference in height between the SCREW's and SCAB's?
