Rancho Shocks
I was wondering if i bought some rancho shocks that came off a '05-'06 f250 super duty...(same mounting style)
-Could i fit them under my 2000 f150 4x4 to raise it a little and maybe level it out?
-If they fit, would there be any negative side effects?

Remember this...correct fit because the mounts are the same is probably 10% of the equation. Correct lenght, fully extended and fully collapsed is the other 40%. The internal valving is the critical component and makes up the other 50% of having a correct shock...and I'll all but guarantee you the shocks for a SC are valved waaaaay different than what your truck needs. I wouldn't run that set up even if they did fit!!
And as mentioned...shocks don't add lift nor support any weight what so ever. Think about it...if you can take a shock and collapse it with your hands do you think it's gonna push your truck up any??
