I definitely recommend RC Vertex rear shocks bro! I love mine! The ride is awesome with Vertex all the way around!
I recall you saying that and that’s why I mentioned that in that video
I've got the full bds coil overs w/ fox 2.0 but I have nothing to really compare it to, cool to see there's other options that aren't a complete sacrifice for quality!
Nice! I think I like to hear about other people experiences with different kids
Great video Q! Great looking truck. I as well have a 6 inch R/C lift I did purchase the R/C coilovers front and rear along with the R/C traction bars and put it on a 2018 F 150 right after I bought the truck. To me the truck drives and rides as good as when it was new. It has 20x10x35s as well. You can tell a little difference because of the bigger tire. Also the train horns are installed! I'm loving those. Keep up the great work. You have inspired me on a few things. Thank you.
Nice man!! I kinda wish I would have gotten the coilovers in rear as well but it’s cool. Your build off to a heck of a start bro! Haha trains horns are on my list for sure. Not urgent but def want them. I appreciate the words man and for supporting the channel 💪🏾💯
Bro! Thank you for this video. My N3’s are horrible with the rear wheel hop. I was looking at Fox and Bilstein shocks and I think I’m gonna go with the Fox 2.0
Glad it helped! Both are great shocks can’t go wrong
But wich are more firm , I don't mind no having softness.
Blistein is great for smooth ride . But extra smooth . Wheels are hooping
With Bilstein digressive valving you feel every bump in the road but there's less body roll. With fox more body roll and more ride "softness"
Thanks for sharing that info
Thanks so much for your review man. I have the N3 shocks in the front and rear of my tahoe (just have a leveling kit right now) and when I am on the road, specially on the freeway, it feels like I am riding a teeter totter on wheels. Don't know if I'll go with the Fox yet, but you definitely helped me in confirming the rough country shocks are no bueno.
Yea the fox are definitely better. Also lol into the rough country vertex shocks, bilsteins or fox
What you are describing is not a shock issue, but bushings, or something other components, that are likely worn.
Fox 2.0 vs Rough Country V2 and surprised thst the V2 feel better on my duramax with daily and pulling my 32' RV.
Thanks for the video this is exactly what I needed to see . I have a 2019 f150 rocky ridge 4 in lift . ford replaced my shocks in rear with the rc n3 cause of an issue but wow as soon as I got it back that wheel hop is crazy in the rear so I just ordered the fox 2.0 hoping that solves the hop issue. If not I’m gonna try to add a rear sway bar
Glad the video help bro hopefully it works out for you. If not look into the new vertex rear reservoir shocks as well.
I put Zone on my JK back in 2014. aOne just gave out. They rode good & happy w/them
I was gonna say. I have N3s and it’s a pretty harsh ride. It’s stiff. Solid but man, a speed bump will throw your rear end everywhere. I’ll look into Fox.
Fox or the new Vertex rear reservoir shocks
FOX FTW!!!! Cheers from a Land Rover enthusiast in England.
Cheers 🍻
I went with the vertex front coilovers and rear socks. And let me tell you. It rides amazing. Worth the cost and the 2 months wait. I wanted the bds coilovers kit but the wait was tooooo long. But now I don't think I need it. And don't think I'll get twice the ride quality since they are almost twice as much. I actually run them on setting 4 or 5 because that's good enough for me. Setting 1 and 2 are a soft and smooth but a bit to much to my taste.
By the way. I drop of my explorer to the dealer today for the camera issue and other issues and technical say it might be the apim module. Since all the issues are tied to that particular module. They will replace the camera since there is a recall on it but might also replace the apim for the other issues. Hope this help.
I still own you that picture of my truck I said I was going to send. Lol coming soon promise
Lol I’ll be waiting for it. Yes ma’am I agree I don’t think you can beat the price and the quality you get Rockweiler you mean with the rough country vertex call overs also with the fox call overs you have to pay the extra money to get the adjustable reservoir it doesn’t come with it. I appreciate you sharing your experience man
Man wish I would of seen this before I already bought the N3's because my stock shocks are leaking. But I haven't lifted my truck yet, so might just roll with N3's till I lift my truck and go with Fox 2.0 on a 4" RC lift.
Dang truck clean as heck. That red hard
Preciate you bro! Big change coming
Good video brother. Great explanation on the two. Looking good. Just ordered some bilstein for my front and rear. Keep'em coming brother.👍
Bilsteins, I hear nothing but good things. I didn’t know they had them for 6in lift…
@@KickinItWithQ I've got a 3inch level kit. Just paced the order this morning. Gonna be killa. And the actually do. We through some on my brother's RAM 1500 with a 6inch lift. Thing rides smooth. Check my videos you'll see the bilstein installed.
Had no idea. Thought they only made for stock and level. Preciate the info bro
@@KickinItWithQ anytime brother. 👍
💪🏾💯
I'm running those fox performance shocks on my jku all the way around with a 4 inch zone lift it rides better now than stock !
Nice bro! 🤘
fox has been in the industry for a long time, good stuff. rear higher assuming youll be towing.
Nah i don’t now I’ll sitting higher in front
This guys truck is a cherry.
So clean and fresh.
Haha Preciate you man!!
Great shocks. I have the Bilstein B8 5100 on mine!
I hear nothing but great things about the bilsteins
I know this is a year old video but I just got a full set of rough country M1 monotube shocks for my f250 super duty no lift. Ordered them this past Friday night and the came today directly from rough country. Holy shit what a difference from my old rancho rs5000. Quality and finish are really good for a not super expensive set of shocks and the ride is not what I expected. It's like a new truck. Granted I have a solid front and rear axel on leaf springs so it's hard to get a real nice smooth ride out of a truck like mine. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a nice looking semi cheap shock set. I paid 340 shipped and hell that's about what I would have paid at the auto parts store for a shit set of Monroe or napa brand with today's prices. Time will tell how they hold up.
Thanks for sharing your experience man and for watching the video
@@KickinItWithQ absolutely dude and just have to say. That's a damn good looking truck you have there.
Thanks man! 🤝🏾💯
Hv not see coilover shocks for rear.
But definitely see resivor shocks for rear.
😁❤👍👍👍
I'm looking to get the rough country 6 inch lift and idk if I should get n3 shocks but no struts or get struts
Though you would want to protect she shock shaft from dents and leakage later
Great video. Seems that most rear shocks that come with lift kits are not very good. Same story on the Pro-Comp.
I'm also not sure any rear shocks will ever come close to good coilovers because of the leaf springs.
Valid point bro. Think the Rams have coil or is it air to help the rear ride quality
Fox = Small bumps hard big bumps softer Rough Country = Small bumps smoother big Bumps harder This is one reason i like to go with Billstien 5100 because i feel ther best of both worlds and Cost effective over Fox.....
This is very helpful, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Good video, but 2 different shocks you would have to compare RC v2 to the Fox they are comparable..
I hear the v2 ride firmer
Got same rear shock, it's planted agree, I have fox front, set at 3 inch, shocks shouldn't affect lift in the rear my opinion, leaf carries load, good luck with upgrades 🇨🇦
Do you recommend these over the V2 rough country shocks ?
I do yes
Stock 02 f250 2x4 single cab. Got a squishy one on the rear and little bouncy. So I wanna change both rear and later the front to match. Most I pull is around 3,000lbs weekly but a 10k lbs camper once a year. Would these fox 2.0 work for a smooth ride but still handle towing. Don't care about looks being it's stock height.
What’s up Q? Thanks for the tips once again! Still ordering those chrome wheels?
Np bro! Haha I ordered something stay tuned
Nice video Q learned a lot thanks
Thanks man! Glad the video helped boss!
I just ordered the front and rear vertex I should have them on by the end of this month just like you I didn’t know they had the rear but when I called them they said yes they can order them for the rear I was like why doesn’t the option come up they said they are working on that so I ordered the rear as well
Nice congrats bro!!
Nice review. Can I ask why you went with fox rear and vertex front?
Bds has a fox coilover for front for 6 inch lift. It sure if it’ll fit rough country lift. Any info you can share?
Honestly when I got the fox in the rear I didn’t know that they made vortex for the rear. If I had known I definitely would’ve went with the vertex in the rear. i’m not sure about the BDS fitting rough country but my buddy has a BDS lift kit and he added vertex rough country call overs so I don’t see why It couldn’t go the other way
Good to know. I have a 2020 F-150 still on the debate to which lift I should with and height.
Man the rough country coilovers kit hard to bet for that price. Zone Good too. BDS most popular. if you have the funds and going tall like like 7-9in them mcghuAys or FTS the way to go
@@KickinItWithQ thought about a 2 in front and a 1in block for the rear with the bilstein 5100 kit or the RC 3in lift. There a lot of pros and cons. I’m a baller on a budget lol
I hear you man ! Gotta a go get you gotta do. Nothin wrong with that
@@sh1usnavy wait till you have the funds and go with BDS.. zone is also. Y bds. And fox owns them. But if you go with a small 3 inch you talked about will want to go higher. Also keep in mind once you go with the lift kit and need to cut out that diff bracket on your frame you cannot go back.
Great video. Thank you. Beautiful truck my friend
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
I don't have many mods on my truck I would like to start with a front end leveling kit
Good place to start bro
It's an addiction... so budget wisely!
No that makes a ton of sense that's what shocks are supposed to do.... They're supposed to make you feel real planted
100% Fox IFP 2.0. I have a full FOx Roush set with a coil over in front and reservoir with icon upper A arm
Nice!!! Your suspension is top notch bro! You got some $$$$ in that thing lol
Yep. I decided to go for it . It rides great and handles well. Threw some ceramic brake pads , Powerstop calipers and slotted rotors as well and they stop like a dream.
@@cowboy-wr5jt oh yea you didn’t cut any corners. Respect bro 👊🏾
@@KickinItWithQ yep , I gotta keep up with my man Q.
😂 you got the juice now boss lol. But truck sounds dope
Can you send a link where you can get the fox 2.0 shocks for the rear and front? I have a 6 in lift and it only shows a rear set.
My guy ordered it through his shop so I don’t have one
Awesome vid man! Big Money Q. 😂
😂😂😂. I’m just trying to get like you boss! Appreciate you watching
wait wait wait wait, hold on, what coilovers do RC have for the rear? I wan't that those for sure. I do have rc coilovers in the front and speed bumps and curbs are just a suggestion with RC coilovers. that's why I want them in the rear.
They have vertex rear shocks as well. Just do a quick search rear vertex shocks
Hey Q. did you mean RC Vertex Piggy back reservoir for the rear and not "coil overs"? Also for rear Fox shock mounting. I have mine like that as well. However, since they are nitrogen filled you can mount either way. I prefer the shock body up and the shaft downwards. I also have those plastic guards in front of the shaft to prevent debris and so forth on the shafts from getting nicked up and eventually causing your seals to get damaged and leak. As you know I tried Vertex Coil overs in the for the front. Ride was nice but the noise they made wasn't favorable. Since going to Fox coil overs in the front I am absolutely loving the driving expireince with FOX all the way around. And from an aesthetic point of view works good for my truck since it is Ingot Silver.
Now go get your self some RBP Power running boards!
Yes that’s exactly what I meant I kept saying callovers lol. I agree I prefer the body up looks better as you stated I’m glad you are enjoying the fox call I was man I’m very curious to write in a rough country call over truck and then jump right in a BDS call over truck to see the difference. Lol yes running boards are definitely on the list to do they are just so dang pricey if I can snag a used pair I’d be happy
@@KickinItWithQ this guy said his coilovers make noise in the front do yours make any noise ??
Nah mines don’t make any noise. Pete is a knowledgeable guy. You should ask him by replying to his comment
@@jasonmarquez5953 LOL "this guy".. Yes it happened to this guy.. RC did warranty them. However I switched to FOX with no regrets what I wanted to begin with. And then I sold the RC's. You can't go wrong with the vertex at the price point. CON is they will last about 50K miles then they "may" need to be replaced. whereby FOX are rebuildable.
Before you change the shocks and struts did Red vibrate going highway speeds?
A little but not bad. it was because of the tires. I’ve found they play a big role. Now since I’ve gotten a better quality tire. It’s minimal shake
Hey Q, I’ve been commenting on your stuff lately. I don’t ever see many comments on off road use or potential with the new RC vertex products. I know you don’t do much off roading in Texas but do you think they would do well in some mild off roading nothing too crazy? Some trails, washboard roads, rocky terrain, etc?
Umm honestly man I never tested them out in that application so it’d be tough for me to say
nice! did coilovers make your ride smoother at all?
Yes! Go watch my latest video I posted Thursday. I did one year review
THAT BOY Q!!!
Yoo!! Preciate the support bro 🤝💯
Damn bro I can't keep up with you I just bought some morimotos lolol Ya killing me
😂 mybad bro. You got headlights or taillights
@@KickinItWithQ The Hybrid XB's (headlights) I can't watch your vids man hahah I buy to much stuff LOL
Hahaha man I know. Just keep it in back pocket
@@KickinItWithQ ill hyu when im out in Dallas bro you do subscriber truck/car meets?
I haven’t held an actual meet but if I’m free I’m always down to chat with people who support
So are you changing to coil-overs? And do you have a sway bar?
No I’m not going to change them. The fox work for me. Nah I don’t have a sway bar
Bro, I'm very close to replacing my front shocks on my 16 f150 2wd but still couldn't decide which ones would be best, now my truck is leveled, and I want to keep it that way. Do you recommend any type of shocks?
Fox or Bilsteins are probably your best bet. Everyone I know who has bilsteins raves about them
@@KickinItWithQ Thanks brother, I will look for those shocks right now. Thanks for your help.
Did you ever think about getting the RC monotube shocks ?
Umm what are those? The V2s?
My man , I have a 2017 ram 1500 big horn drives very comfortable from the factory .I want to put a 2" level in kit on the front to just level with the rear I do a ton of highway driving and street driving. I don't go off road but we gut some potholes I could bath a small child in ,how do you think these shocks will perform if I put them in the front only is it going to outmatch the rear ? What do you recommend for putting in the rear. I don't want to go with Fox or anything and can't afford kings what I was thinking was vertex up front with bilstein 4600s in the back I also have airbags in the back as well .
Look into bilsteins. Based on what you described you needs are Think you’ll be happy with those. They make them for front and rear
@@KickinItWithQ the 4600s or 5100 ? I've heard the 5100 ride very stiff .I was looking for something that could soak up the potholes real well. And smooth out my ride only going up 2"
@@--emt everyone I know has the 5100. But I’d say do research on both and see which one sound like they suit you better. But they all rave about the bielstiens
Nice truck man!
Thanks bro
I actually been looking at these Fox shocks for my truck. I just didn’t know if it was a noticeable difference. Between stock and fox. My lift kit should be here any day now
If you coming from the Rough country you will notice a difference but if you already have fox shocks it might not be that much of a difference
@@KickinItWithQ I’m currently on stock right now. This will be my first time lifting a truck. But I’m sure the fox have a very noticeable difference from stock shocks.
Yea when you lift whichever kit/company you go with will have their own rear shock so your factor ones will be replaced
@@TFBJFord what lift you going with and what inch lift?
@@petelanzone484 I just got confirmation that my lift is out for delivery now. I went with 8inch FTS.
i had both in the past on my 2010 f150 which i sold . the rough country suck and the fox 2.0 arnt worth the money they cost theyre good but defiantly not up to par with the price especially off road . they also didnt ship at the correct lift they said it would even after talking to fox. i had to take them off after installing them adjust them then put back on. which pissed me off
Good info bro thanks for sharing
it does look like you got a bit of rake...
I did up fronts not anymore after I added coilovers
I’m a bit confused. Rear coil overs? Never seen rear COs on an F150
Yep. Rough country makes them. google rough country vertex rear coilovers
@@KickinItWithQ I know they have the vertex rear shocks with remote resi but I don’t see anything with a coil spring. Maybe I’m missing it 🤷🏻♂️
Oooo I see what you saying now. I misspoke. You right
@@KickinItWithQ mannnnn I was big confused cause if RC had come out with some rear coil over to get rid of the leafs I woulda been about it 😂
@@blakedudley4692 😂😂 yea
My fault lol
Most shocks are not IFP shock? I'm sure you would know when you pay for them? But someone along the line decided, it would look "COOL" turning there shocks upside down and not put a boot over the rod because that wasn't "COOL" anymore? Lmao But think about it....your shock is upside down with the rod closer to the road and exposed to dust, dirt, mud, and water all moving in an out of your shock on that dirty rod possibly damaging it?🤯 Then saying damn, these shocks suck because they didn't last long?🤔
Do you have vertex coilovers in the back ??
No, I have the fox 2.0s
Oh ok wasn’t sure if you got the vertex in the back yet . Cool though bro looking forward to a review with the rear vortex . Kinda on the fence about ordering front and rears vertex’s
I heard they are worth it. I didn’t know they had them so that’s why I got fox. Otherwise I would have got the rear coilovers too
rough country too light. fox better. or bilstein 5100 very good
nice truck whats your tire size
These tires are 35x12.5x20
I love my Fox shocks in the rear. I have the basic BDS 6" kit and it rides really smooth. I don't think I'm going to upgrade to coilovers. I just don't know if it's worth the money for an extra extra smooth ride. Lol.
However, if I could crank the coilovers up to prevent some rubbing when I turn I would definitely consider it.
You can crank you the rough country vertex coilovers not sure about the bds since I don’t have them. Me personally adding the coilovers overs the truck rides way better than the stock rough country. But you have BDS so you might ride quality already
@@KickinItWithQ Thanks for the response. I'm going to look into it down the road. I've spent a ton on the truck this year, other than the Amp research running boards I have on order, no more upgrades until it's paid off. Haha.
😂 I hear you on that. I want amp steps but dang they $$$$$ lol.
@@KickinItWithQ Haha they are but they are worth it. Gives the truck a much cleaner look, you get more clearance and they drop down further than the factory steps. Keep grinding bro! Love the channel!
Thanks bro!

Did you re gear your rear end?
No I’m on stock gears. 3.55
@@KickinItWithQ if you do re-gear then 4:10 would be ideal for your setup. Moat folks do not re-gear
What’s Good Ωue???? Oops 🙊 you ain’t Frat… Please excuse!
lol yea frat wasn’t my thing
Clean!
Thanks bro!
Thnx bro

Get rid of that rough country junk go with a company that knows what they’re doing. Fox has been in business for a very long time and they know a thing or two about off-road and they stand behind her product.
For me honestly breath country has been great and just like Fox as well. They have been in business for a very long time too. Also, a lot of people don’t notice but rough country has made major strides in their product. I’ve had my kitten now for five years and it has been solid no issues.
Fox’s always have the shaft at the bottom
If you hand the ifp they can go either way but I always see them up
I need some coilovers bruh 😅
Man it’ll make truck ride much better
Comparison between 2 garbage ass shocks. Lmk which one is less shitty.
Rough country Vertex comes with a one year warranty, not the Fox.
