I finally got around to install the Fox 2.0 shocks on my truck. My truck has the 3" Sky RSK with "V" code front springs and 5" traction blocks with "F" code rear springs.
I was running Bilstein 5100 series shocks. The 5100 shocks were generic 255/70 valving. From all the searching online, I decided to try Fox 2.0s. So I ordered Fox 2.0s through Trevor at PMF.
Here at the part numbers for my truck:
Front: 980-24-656 --> need two (2)
Rear: 980-24-647 --> need two (2)
*Bushings: 213-27-002-B --> need six (6)
For my information and application, here is Fox's catalog. Scoll down to the 2.0 section

* The Fox shocks come with metal sleeves in the shock bushing. Since these shocks are for the Super Duty trucks, ID of the sleeves are 12mm. My truck utilizes 1/2" bolts to mount the shocks hence the reason for the bushings. You need to swap out the upper and lower steel sleeves in bushings on the front shocks. On the rear shocks, you need to totally remove the steel sleeves on the upper mounts and swap out the sleeves on the lower mounts. Otherwise it's a straght forward shock R&R.
I can't comment on how the truck rides just yet as the truck is still on the lift but I'm sure it will be fine. Still doing some routine PM before the Spring time.
