Don't waste your money on Fox shocks, you are only paying for the name, trust me on that.
well i do plan on offroading, nothing as crazy as you, but alot of mudding. And thanks for the advice on the Fox shocks. What would you recommend? just stick with whatever comes with the lift?

Well, despite I'm an avid off roader, I only started wheeling about 3 years ago. Knew nothing about off roading/trial riding but as you can see even a rookie like me can cause severe carnage, take a look. https://www.f150online.com/forums/ge...t-vehicle.html

I went threw 3 rear pair of rear pro comp shocks and 2 pairs of front shocks and one coil over, including 1 cross member in the 2 years I had my 6" pro comp lift. Take a look at post #35 and #36 https://www.f150online.com/forums/ge...vehicle-3.html

Now with the Rize kit, which I though it was bullet proof, I have king shocks which are built better stronger and can be easily rebuilt up to 6 times according to King reps. So far it has withstand quite a bit of abuse and no replacements have been necessary. Rize Damage

Looks like a replacement upgrade for your stock shocks. But once you descide on what lift to get I can personally go to King shocks shop and get the right info for you. King is only about 15 minutes from my house and I drive by there almost every day.

Thanks man! i just saw that it says it lifts the truck 2.5" so you can fit 35's.. so I figured its basically a high-end leveling kit lol. Figure the truck would ride SMOOOOOOTH with the king shocks!!

Do you know right off the top of your head what a pair of Coilovers would run for a 6" lift? Im thinking about getting a 6" kit without shocks and just getting some king coilovers for it. might be a little cheaper that way

Do you know if I can run 6" coilovers with a 4" kit? I REALLY like the Rancho kit, and I know most guys end up getting 5" out of it anyways, but could I run the 6" king coilovers with it without a problem?
