Shock absorbers FOX or Rancho

FOX Shock absorbers

Had a mystery clunk from my front end on a 21TRD pro. Drove me crazy and the dealership near me thought I was. Took it to another shop and they found my fox shocks lost the nitrogen charge that sits on the oil. New shocks, fixed.

Pros: new shocks, fixed
Cons: lost nitrogen charge
Mileage: 40000 km

As for shocks, Fox is the best route for offroad shocks. They use higher quality parts and fluids than anyone else in the industry.

Pros: higher quality parts

I think stiff sway bars and good tires make any car feel sporty, but sporty isn\u2019t always directly related to fun - anyone who has coilovers that are way too stiff can attest to this.

Pros: cornering more confident
Cons: coilovers too stiff

Everyone here will push Bilstein shocks. They're probably best for weight and wheelbase. I put Rancho on mine and leveled the truck by going 1.75" taller up front. Don't hate the ride.

Pros: leveled the truck
Cons: don't hate the ride

FOX Shock absorbers

I had a 2019 Ranger Raptor. Sold it exactly after 3 years. A week before warranty expires, all 4 shocks nagleak. Napansin ko kasi pag umakyat ako sa bed may squeak sounds kaya pinacheck ko na. Walang marunong magrepair sa Philippines ng Fox shocks kaya full replacement yun which costs around 200k.

Cons: shocks leaked
Vehicle: Ford Ranger
