I'll post details as soon as I have the truck home. I'm probably being overly cautious but I had a Mustang sniped from me by a forum member 10 years ago or so when I made a similar post, and I don't want that to happen again. I will confirm it's a brand new truck. Can't wait to post pics though!

Are these the shocks folks recommend for the rear? Would only replacing the rear shocks throw some sort of factory suspension tuning out of whack?

Might go ahead and order a set once I have the truck in hand. And the modding begins...
Sorry, I didn't mean to give you the impression that I was trying to snipe your new ride. Just thought I'd throw out another possible option. The one I was referencing is basically new. It has been driven by one of the salesmen.

Sorry I didn't mean to give the impression I was implying you would. I was speaking more generally. 10 years ago I found a car I really liked and posted the link saying I was going to go test drive it, asking for things to look for, etc etc. I went to look at it and it sold, and a forum member posted a snide remark later with a pic of the car in the thread I started. Suffice to say he got banned; and it was a local car club too.

Instances like that make me wish for swift karma.

Well, I didn't get an FX4, but I assume it still applies? XLT 301A. I probably won't do much to it until it's paid off.

Have an appointment at 9:30am on Friday to buy it.
Famous last words.

Oh I've already got a list...first and foremost will be a bedliner. Also have a few amazon gift cards so may as well buy the shocks!

Well I talked it through with my wife and I think we’re going to move forward with the Ranger. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for all the information.
I think you got a great deal in this market. You will love the truck.

Those are the ones, though I would check with @Stage3Motorsports first.

Bilsteins at Stage 3

They are a vendor on here and Frank may be able to help you out a bit.

I've bought some too much stuff from them and they are a great vendor to deal with.

Picked it up this morning from Frederick Motor Co in Frederick, MD. Excellent experience over all. Final sale price was $37.2k. I’m stoked!
