Lifted truck rides super rough!

[mbreaux05]

Fox 2.0's seem to be really nice shocks for the money, we just put some on my dads truck and it helped the ride out quite a bit. The Icont 2.0's are nice as well. It depends on what your budget it on how far you want to go but a 2.5 shock sure is nice I couldn't believe the difference going from icon 2.0's to Icon 2.5 resi's

Is his truck lifted or stock height?

I'm not sure if it was the bds kit as a whole on my f150, or the fox shocks that made it ride so good, but it was awesome!

I saw fox has a 2.0 factory series resi, a 2.0 performance IFP, a 2.5 factory series resi, and a 2.5 factory series resi adj.

Not sure which would be the best?? I mainly see the 2.0 performance for sale on after market websites. And it seems that it is their only "performance" shock. Not sure if any of the other I have listed would be the better option.

[WHY NOT]

My dads truck is stock height but plenty of guys run them on lifted trucks. The best will be the 2.5 adjustable resi shocks but you will be looking at 600+ a piece for those. I just read some where in the vender section a few days ago that those should be out soon. Another option would be to take that kit off while it is still pretty much new sell it and buy a little nicer lift such as a bds, icon, carli etc etc

Yeah not looking to spend that much $$. I'm going to keep the lift I have. Dealer installed so it's covered under my warranty. Looks like the 2.0s or 2.0 resi is my price range.

I have King shocks on mine and they ride awesome!

Question: once I change the shocks, will I need to get another alignment?

Nope, with only a shock change and other things left alone you will be fine

I'm glad to see you say that the King shocks ride great. I just bought my truck and it was just delivered.....but it'll be about 8 months to a year before I get to drive it for the first time! (Deployed Army guy)...

The guy I bought it from says it rides great though...

So I think I have it narrowed down to the fox 2.0 IPF for $129ea. or the Icon VS 2.0 for $169. If you have experience with either, I would like to know your thoughts.

Thanks

:whs: I'd never buy a new truck with a lift and crap. Rather save the money that they charge you for it and put a BDS, carli, icon or PMF lift under it, and the wheels and tires I want.
