Well, I thought that the Ford stuff did justice to "Call Me The Breeze". I was wrong......

It's a rock hall now!!:rockon:
Nice, I got to do it now as the wifes B&O sounds much better than mine. Enjoy !

John, I agree regular shocks wont raise ride height but these have high pressure gas in them and do provide slight lift (1/4 inch in my case) . My 19 4x2 (with Eibachs) is higher in the rear than my 20 Fx4 and hasn,t settled any yet. (I wish it would though). When you installed yours weren't they very hard to compress ? I bet it took 200lbs of force to compress mine to install. As far as lowering 2 inches (I wish that was the case as I would love the rear end to sit lower) Bret
When you put your front leveler's in, it won't lower the rear but it'll seem like it because of the body line.:) I can say I am stiill liking mine after driving around the mountains and valley's the past couple of days (no off road though).

You too!!?
I'm still pissed that Ford charges you for the B&O in the super cab but they don't include it. When I called Ford about it they said thanks for bringing it to their attention and gave me a voucher with case code number for $500 . When the truck came in the case number was good but they didn't want to honor it ! My dealer made good on it though.

I have them on the shelf, I just need to get a round to do it.

If you have to take them off again put a small ratchet strap around them before you detach them so they don't extend. It makes them allot easier to re-attach and no one has to bench press those shocks.
That's how I did my rear ones.

I like it as well; went to the Putco website and no installation instructions...how did you install it? Never mind...found the instructions on the website! Thanks
I bought mine from Amazon.
Instructions were in the packaging.
Watched a YouTube video on how to install.
20 min, tops. Even a goofball like me can do it quickly!

Got a Trigger Controller 6 Shooter in the mail so I don't have to worry about mounting switches and running wires through the firewall. My terrain management upgraded also got completed now that the switch arrived. Didn't get the switch for the $50 it used to be but $80 was better than what Ford was charging

@daniel3507 Where did you pick up the switch for $80?
I've been looking around and can't find it for less that $100 with shipping. I would buy it if I could get it under $100. Makes me feel like I'm getting a bargain. ?
