Review: Handle off road great - Fit my f250 easy to install, been on truck for over a year now very happy
Review: A great shock at a good price - Bought a set to replace the shocks on my 2018 F250 Super Duty They were a good price and had a 50 /50 review. The original Rancho Fx4 shocks I had were spent. The Rough Country shocks made a big difference on the road smoothing out the jolts of my 3/4 ton truck. I like the fit and finish the hardware was good and the bushings quality. a three year warranty is good. I like the non boot look and the shock body was thicker than the factory versions. All in all I have had them for a month and am happy with the results.
