Anyone have any idea who makes a shock for a 2wd 02 f150 with 6 inches of lift in the rear? rancho's website has em for stock and bilstein only has em for a 3" lift on their website....

 

Check with Bilstein, you might be able to use the 4WD 4" lift shocks.

 

You can go with Fox, SAW, or another top end brand. They'll do a custom length piggy back reservoir shock that works with stock brackest for around $180.

 

the part number on the 2wd 3" bilstein shock is the exact same as the 4" 4wd shocks.....

 

I would suspect then you coul use those as the 4wd is normally 2" higher than the 2wd. 2+4 gives you the six you mentioned.

 

but with the 6" deaver springs i have in the rear, my shock is still about an inch to short from bolting up, and this is with the truck sitting on the ground with the springs loaded...

 

If you have Deaver springs like that, not only do you have the lift issue but you also have a suspension travel issue. No, that's not the same difference. Your springs will have much more travel than a stock truck with blocks for lift. You need to get some custom length shocks and live it up to do this right.

 

I got ahold of the people at fox racing and they said i should put a stem to eyelit conversion on the shock mount in the rear...i cant really find anything like that online and im not exactly the best at doing custom work like that...i might end up having to take it to an offroad shop or something...

 

I think Pro-Comp has one of those adaptors. No custom work required...it's a bolt on item. I'd get help picking the right length shock (if you're not comfortable with that and/or going with the adaptor as it alters the length requried), but I'm surprised Fox suggested you go that route since they make a shock with a stem for the top mount. No bracket would be needed.

 

ya i thought it was kinda weird to, the email i got back said that they suggest doing that and going with one of there dual eyelet shocks because it would be much cheaper than having them custom make a stem mount shock. Im going to call and talk to someone there on monday and see what they actually have and what they have to make etc etc...
