    That’ll work! but you’ll need to install with either coil bucket’s or our shock conversion kit.

    All the 2017-2018 shocks (blue 3.0’s) will work, whether for crew or super cab. We build from the 2017 crew cab variant. (Hl3z-18124-c)

    I like that idea! How about $50 off any conversion kit and $100 off a shock package order between now and Christmas? i am website challenged and can’t figure out how to do code so if you place an order I will refund the difference. Just shoot me a private message so I can know to do it...

    Our phone is messed up. I am trying to fix it but our provider (Google Voice) doesn’t have a help line and I am stuck. Hoping to have this resolved within the next couple weeks, but in the meantime please E-mail us your questions. We are still shipping orders! Lol Doug

    Hey everyone, We got locked out of our FRF account and are finally back online. Despite this we've tried to maintain contact with our customers as best as possible and have been fulfilling website orders this entire time. If you are still interested in shocks please do not hesitate to order...

    That’s true, but then you don’t have a way to actuate the valve unless you go e-click. And in that case, you’re probably at the same price as a factory race series 3.0 kit

    Yeah I can get you part numbers for the shocks that you need. We list them on our website under the kit info I believe, or if you chose to have us build them we can handle everything for you.

    Should have no issues with aftermarket tie rod clearances and also the Gen 1 geiser springs. Seems to be most are running geisers over stock springs. Thanks!!!

    Some guys run external bypass rears as well. Either way a 3.0” bypass shock internal or external is the way to go. Externals are a bit better off road

    Just an update - one of our customers went BIG at a raptor run recently with our 3.0 Kit! Going this hard takes some talent with any setup so definitely do so at your own risk. With that said, what we’re hearing from this customer it has been performing flawlessly after weeks of repeated...

    We do not personally as I cannot afford to carry the inventory of all the potential replacement parts that might be needed during a full rebuild. However, a forum sponsor Brian Diede/Shocks by Hammer should be a solid 1-stop shop for rebuild and installation. I believe he’s running our hardware...

    We have been getting it out of both the fronts and rears, but admittedly on the rears we did add a nitrogen Schrader to check pressures and top it off once a year.

    Collars are compatible with our setup if you want to get the top perch configuration! Considering you start with mid perch as configured, I would expect you would only need a small collar to get up to the equivalent top perch height.

    Just finished up a set for a customer (minus the bushings) and they really turned out great. This is the first set we’ve built up without our logos and we’re digging the clean look. Moving forward, we’ll give everyone the option to decide if they do or do not want laser etched lower bodies.

    We did some durability testing, both real-world on vehicle and accelerated durability on a shock dynamometer to compare the 2.5” and 3.0” designs. From a damping perspective, our 3.0” package is lasting 5-6x longer than the standard 2.5 setup on an accelerated durability dyno test. In terms...
