Fox Shocks

[FlounderStalker]

What size are the fox shocks on the Raptor and how much to they cost if you needed to replace them?

 

[SVTRay]

I don't know about size but someone told me a set of shocks for the Raptor will run 1200.00.

Edited: I found this on Fourwheeler.com

Other features of the SVT/Fox shocks are a 2.5-inch body, piggyback reservoirs on the rear, and a 7/8-inch shaft diameter. The shocks use 47mm pistons (compare that to 35mm front and 32mm rear piston size of the standard F-150) with 7.1 inches of front shaft travel, while the rears have 10.9 inches of shaft travel. This equates to an impressive 11.1 inches of front wheel travel (compared to 8.5 inches on the standard F-150) and 13.1 inches of rear wheel travel (same as the F-150) for the Raptor. While those numbers may not sound as good as some aftermarket long-travel kits, remember we are talking about bypass shocks here, which give beautifully controlled, clean travel. The Raptor is also very streetable and passes all of Ford's internal requirements for on-road handling.

The list price for the shocks were:

Rear: AL3Z18125A $676 (Inc dust shield)
Front: AL3Z18124TA $675

From what I can see you can't just get the rear shock, it always comes with the dust shield. If you need to buy the dust shield separately, its AL3Z18159A and $287

So $2700 for all 4 corners (and the price/parts list I have is out of date)

Andy R, you are just about right. I had to replace my right front just this week due to it leaking. Parts manager told me list for the shock was $647.00

Sounds like another good reason to consider an extended warranty.

The shocks are the only reason I got the extended warranty

I would have bought the Ford extended warranty but in the fine print, shocks are specifically excluded. Since these are "special" shocks, Ford might cover them but I didn't want to take the chance.

Fox and Ford both claim 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions so I figure if they blow a seal under 100,000 miles I stand a better chance getting them replaced with the ESP? What does it say in the fine print Mark? I don't understand how they could be considered "special" if they are installed on the assembly line? Not questioning the validity I just dint read the fine print and I would like to know what Ford is trying to pull here.
