Why Lift-Specific Shocks Matter
Factory shocks aren’t designed for:
-
Increased suspension travel
-
Larger wheel & tire setups
-
Heavy diesel front-end weight
-
Off-road articulation
Correct shock length keeps geometry and ride control in check.

Torque hardware to spec
Super Duty trucks are heavy. Your shocks should be ready.

Fantastic! Went right in, all hardware & rubber bushings included. (minus the lower main bolt) Nice ride and bang for your buck. Put them on a 1-ton dually, holding up well.

Direct fit for my 2011 F250, easy install

So far so good. Rides well. Installed on 2012 F250 King Ranch 6.7

Shock build quality is exceptional! I recommend not purchasing if you are running anything bigger then a 2inch leveling kitDepending on your leveling kit they may or may not be the right length! I have a 3.5 inch leveling kit and they are only 4inches past the lower shock mount at full extension which is about 2.5 inches shorter then the ones that came with the kit!

Works perfect with my 2” Lift !
Kevin Houle –
Package great, installed super easy, ride was immediately better with my 4 inch lift.

They do NOT fit my F250. So obviously the information about these shocks is misleading at best, fraud at worst. When my mechanic was finally able to get around to installing the shocks, it was too late to return and get a refund.
Justin R. –
Wow, what a difference! Had a set of Bilstein 5100’s on the front of my leveled F350 and it was such a terrible ride. Decided to try these RC’s and so far an incredible difference in ride quality. I have the RC’s on the rear already and the steering stabilizer, they’ve been great as well. Even though they’re made in China, I’m hoping they last. Almost went to Fox but the cost was 3 times as much.Edit: After a couple days and some miles, they really tamed down the ride. It’s so much nicer now but I will say the Bilsteins definitely handled better. You felt more planted with them. I guess it’s a trade off, one I’m willing to make.

Looks durable
Haven’t installed as Amazon hasn’t been able to deliver other products for me to be able to use these shocks. They keep losing products. But these shocks so far look durable as advertised
