i paid $2654 in 2016 for 4 Method 18" wheels and a set of 35x12.50 Nitto Trail Grapplers. In 2023 i paid $2216 for a set of 4 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. its crazy to see how prices have changed.

So...FordTech...your the expert..are the part #s i listed correct...and is it true Motorcraft Fox now goes with 3.0 ... mine would be stock and 2.5 correct?
Thanks..

Those are correct for a 2011-2014 Super Crew. Never heard it the diameter changing, they should match the originals.

I’m pretty sure the only difference between Super Crew and Super Cab shocks is the shim stack. The SCAB have a lighter stack in the rear. Fronts are almost identical.

Just called them....long story short..im on porch,GF in back yard...she comes on porch and says..."all i heard you yell was $900... Yep..good old stealership never disappoints......NOT FOR 4...EACH!! $3600....but ya know..parts guy says...yeah,its a Raptor..they are special shocks

This is where I started building a relationship with the local ford dealership. I talked to the parts manager and simply explained that I was interested in supporting a local business rather than the internet, told them that I was not made of money so if they could be competitive with internet pricing that I would buy from them. Ever since then they have a discount code that is used when I make a purchase and it has worked out well over the past several years. I check online pricing before I check the price with them and they have been very competitive. Be honest with them and they will return it in kind in most cases, if not move on. Not every dealership is out to screw you.

I couldnt agree with you more...and ALWAYS will buy local before online....As far as at Dealerships...let me tell you a little story...
I owned a Service business for 34 years...we serviced the local Ford maybe 1st 10 years...and yes...you could build a relationship.....once they sold....we STILL serviced the Ford....and then the Toyota,Dodge,VW,and RV buildings..all owned by same person. There is no more loyality,unless maybe your in a small town...turnover is too high......I bought 2 Fords and 1 Toyota from them for my business....do you think I got special price or treatment...LOLOLOLOLOLOL...they outright tried to screw me on 2 of them....and on a 3rd,I was going to get a special extended warranty that usually cost $5K for ONLY $2500 because the owner told them to treat me well....I didnt bite,and come to find out you could buy for $800.....
Thats the short version of all their BS....so again,although I agree to buy local.....I will never buy from them......so living in semi rural area....for parts...if O'reilys or Napa dont carry it..its online for me....and to be honest,I've had more luck building relationship with some smaller online sellers than face to face at our stealership......Shoutout to Nick from Apollo and Lucas from Truck Alterations....
