GEN 1 The last Ford I'll ever buy...

[Madcowranch]

I'm just SOOOOO thankful the Raptor doesn't have the 5.4 in it. Those motors are garbage, at best.

OP, I read in another thread on here you done some towing with your raptor, you claimed almost 10k miles of towing, remember that these trucks weren't built with towing in mind. Lots of towing can be part of the reason of why you would need to rebuild your shocks very early in consideration to mileage.

All towing was done well within the manufactures towing rating. The last trip to Drag Week I even had airbags on there. Just sayin.

Travis! Who's air bags did you go with?

Shocks can fail at anytime. Some will bow out at 5k, while some keep chugging until 100k.

You can find take offs with a few thousand miles for well under $2,300 or ship yours off for a rebuild if you can live without your truck for a few weeks.

I am selling mine came off a 2012 scab at 26k miles. fronts are set to mid perch. No leaks. $800 pm me if your interested or questions.

This is not the correct area to sell parts. Create a thread in the Classifieds section if you want to sell your shocks.

Hahahahaha the 5.4's are some of the best engines Ford made in terms of longevity. Ya they weren't powerful but they move a van and product around for 300,000+ miles on basic service. I don't think it's fair to rate a company on how their cars withstand law enforcement abuse. You guys beat the shit out of those things. Machines break and they break more often/quicker with abuse. I've watched every episode of COPS, I know how cars are treated [emoji12]

Firestone Ride-rite.

Fantastic for trailering the car around, but utter dog poop without weight on the back. I only install them when I go racing, and pull them off as soon as I get home.
