I was going to say before you cut the shocks loose install one end then cut it loose and put the other bolt in as it is expanding out.
Good stuff. Happy Motoring.
I love that idea!
Yeah, I immediately thought: "Oppp, he cut that too early, should have waited until it's mounted" --- As soon as I seen that it was too tall when he was trying to install it..... But at the same time-- I've seen a lot of guys talk about how it's important to cycle the shock a couple of times before you put it on there-- not sure why??
@@calholli it's about moving the oil up where it's supposed to be, displacing the air, bit it only really applies to standard/ cheap twin tube shocks, the ones in the video have an IFP separating the gas and oil, so there is no risk of gas and oil mixing.
@@calholli Could you point to the time in the video you are referencing to? I'll be doing this install for the first time. TIA
@@drerocs At about 3:38 he cuts the shock free then at 3:51 he installs a bolt into the shock in the lower mounting bracket. If he left the shock restrained and installed the shock in the upper mounting bracket with a bolt then cut it free he could install a bolt in the lower mounting bracket as it expanded out enough for a bolt to fit in. That's how I would do it. Happy Motoring.
Just bought these and put them on my f150…..incredible! Such a smooth ride. I honestly couldn’t believe the difference from stock and I’m so happy I went with Fox
All the steps were expertly documented for us to follow. Nice job guys.
Thanks!
Thank you. This video proved to be super helpful for my Ford Performance Bilstein suspension install. One note, in the event that the tie rod end nut just spins the bolt, use a 10mm socket to hold the bottom of the bolt and a 21mm wrench to tighten the nut. Once you snug up the nut a bit, you will no longer need the socket and can use a torque wrench to tighten it to spec.
Congrats on the suspension upgrade with the Fox Struts and Shocks. They look great, but more importantly, it appears to have improved the ride significantly. Thanks for sharing.
The f150 is the best hands down
I have a 21 I'm doing this on now, but I don't remember taking anything apart on the front end of my 2010. Great video
Thanks for putting this together, this was extremely helpful. The process is WAY easier on the '22's than it was on my 2013 and 2018, but the way you specified what order to put everything back together really helped avoid some headaches.
Glad these worked out for you! I greatly appreciate the real world install video and review. I have mine on order and been searching for install videos that reflect the common man since not everyone has a full lift just sitting in their garage.
When I was younger, the hustle method was the best. Now, not so much! 😂
Nice truck, always satisfying when modifications work out as intended also!
Thank you Brian.
I got the chip, cards, and stickers. Nice.
Now to break in the cards.
Happy Motoring.
The set is a little expensive, but it’s really not too bad of a job to install, Eh? Nice having the right tools. The Ford shocks aren’t that bad really, but with the Fox 2.0s I felt there was a definite benefit and difference warranting the price (if you do it yourself). I liked your technique for the rear shocks!! 😂😂. You can cycle them first that way!!!
Great video. Quick & to the point. Awesome dog by the way!!
thanks for making this video.
I replaced the rear ones without taking the tires out. Very easy! In 30 minutes!
Have you had any issues with the shocks?Roush recommends backing the shock off 5/8 of an inch.
This video was fantastic. Thank you for being super detailed
I noticed that you didn't remove/loosen the axle bolt like shown in the instructions. Is that step just to make it easier to install or is does it help with aligning the CV?
What about having the truck front relined up??????
I debating on these for my f150 Tremor. Nice vid. Thank you.
The Tremor with the 402A package should have these front & rear shocks included! $13,500 (US) & $16,500 (CDN) is a hell of a lot of money to pay for that package & only get Hitachi shocks to boot?
Did you have any problem with your headlights being too high blinding, oncoming cars?
Great video! I would like to know two things ... how is the ride changed on road? Is it harsher riding (especially empty in the bed) or does it also feel just as smooth as stock? Doesn't Fox prove a shock boot for the rear absorber?
When you talked to the Fox rep did he say anything about using the original upper control arm ? I'm assuming that you didn't change it on the strut install . Did you ever consider Bilstein 6112 B8 or anything else ? Who did you buy through ?
I have a 2020 F-150 that I want leveled with a good suspension kit which will allow for off road trips.
Rip upper control arm
Please check Page 7 of the instruction manual. You improperly installed the rear shocks. They are upside down. The body of the shock must be attached to the back of the rotor not the frame.
Nice video, do they make them for 03 Chevy?
Thanks 🇺🇸
I just picked up a 23 F150 PowerBoost and I mainly do city driving and the box is empty most of the time. I don't like the rake and it feels too bouncy. I don't want the mpg to suffer too much by levelling and going with a heavier wheel and tire setup. I have decided to stay with stock wheel and tire and just do the level. Do you think the mpg will suffer too much doing 90% city driving and do you think for my application I would benefit the full Fox 2.0 or front pucks would suffice? Thank you! Shane
very nice show,,, thanks,,,save me tons of money,,, OH,,,, MAN,,, what happen to those greedy shops today who charge $160----200 bucks per hour labor,,,ford dealer even a blood sucker who charge staggering $260 per hour labor,,, and mount up tons of sur-charge on the parts,,------total at $4800
my 2021 fx4,, I do front and reat suspension up grade----fox 2,0 front,, Falcon adjustable REAR,, and thrown in the post alignment cost-----sum up ----- $1200
I’ve been thinking of getting these Fox 2.0 Roush kit for my 2015 Platinum, would it be worth it??
Did the new shocks level the truck?
Great video.testimony. Putting same on my 2021 F150 Lariat FX4 5.0. Did you keep the OEM tires? I've got 275/60R/20 Hankook AT (OEM) and wondering if I need to swap out or save the cash for now... I have 12.2K roughly in mileage. Thank you!
Save cash. The tires you have are actually pretty good
I am about to put same kit on my 2022 F150...did you have to do wheel alignment or any mods/adjustment to air dam...no problems with shocks so far ...how about front tire wear? Thanks
Did you install these yet? Did you have to realign?
I have a 21 and got a rough country level and the instructions talk about an actuator and hand vacume tool? did not see you do any of that.
To engage/disengage 4 wheel drive right?! Was thinking the same myself. A side by side comparison of the front shocks would have e been good as well.
Did you need alignment after install?
yes but there is enough adjustability in the oblong holes in the lower control arms to make up for it. tighten to 250 ft lbs
Thanks for using jacks instead of a hoist 😮😅
may i know where do you or can i get the 2021 f150 service manual pdf ? Thank you!
I got it from a monthly subscription I have that's $300 a month. They're not common yet. Usually emanualsonline.com is a good source for stuff like that for $20, but I just checked for you and they're only up to 2014 that I see.

can someone convert the Fig Newton Meters for me please?
I just don't understand why all automotive companies aren't using these kind of shocks straight out of the factory? The technology is out there, why not build it into every car? If it were to be common place like that, it wouldn't cost near as much as it does.
Aspecially since you don't really need any space age technology, just better valving would do, but I guess they are trying to achieve something else than traction and comfort, steering response maybe?
1: Ford says NEVER jack the truck by the rear end Bell Housing. 2: Those plastic straps on the rear shocks are there to help you get the shocks on, and THEN cut the straps. That's as far as I got in the video. I just can't watch someone with less mechanical skill than I have try to show me how to do something.
Rear end bell housing 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
Mmmmmm meter fig newtons....
Mmmmmmmmm...etric! lol
Can beat these Fox 2.0s .. the faster you go off road the smoother
little bouncy
