I have 40k miles on my truck and drivers front shock is bad. 4k miles out of warranty and Ford won't cover it. was quoted $1,100 to replace it by Ford. Of course they said shocks should be replaced in pairs. for $2,200 I can do a full set of something else, and just do it myself.
I did the lift myself on my old tacoma so it's nothing new to me. I just thought it would be cheaper than what ford quoted. I think they were wanting $700-$800 just for the strut assembly. I can do a full Bilstein setup for half that price for all four corners and still pay someone to do it and only be at the cost of the 1 Fox. And get a better warranty than the 1 year on the Fox. I haven't even done any real offroading in this truck.
