Are Fox Shocks Worth It? 2017 Ford F350. 

Wow, actual DATA? THANK YOU!

The type of guy that would make up his own homework on winter vacation instead of enjoy the time off. Great video! :)

Good job. I respect your GoPro mount skills.

I've looked for a video like this for months! This is a great video thank you

Nice job, I was thinking about getting this shocks. And now I'm really leaning towards them.

A very good video that really shows how well a shock performs without just having hearsay to go by. Thank you

Super impressed with your method and conclusions sir. You have helped me with my decision to buy fox. Well done!

Awesome video.....Thanks for sharing.....great camera angles.

Another great video Mr. Epic. I've watched several of your videos so far and like how you can pack useful information, great camera angles, talk intelligently and keep the video short while leaving out crazy intros / outros, annotations, obnoxious sound tracks or pitches to subscribe, follow you on all social media platforms. People like me really appreciate the honesty and absence of fluff.

Great video! And I love the “just stuff my dad taught me” comment. My dad taught me a lot of cool tricks too and I love him for that and I bet your teaching your son the same. Your a cool dad!

Thanks for taking the time to make this! Also the handy tip for installation! Cheers

Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I will be replacing shocks in my 2015 Super Duty in about another year. Great job!

wow great review on the shocks and great over all insight i was searching a long time for a video that would give me a good comparison on a pair of shocks that i wanted to buy but did not know if they actually work.

Thank You!!! i was just trying to figure out what shocks to go with and your video has done justice. Your awesome for putting this video together. Fox should give you a stipend for the video

Thanks Epic for the video. I have the same truck and put the same Fox shocks on it and couldn't tell much difference but your testing shows a lot. You were a big help to me with Forscan a while back!!!

Thank you so much for this video. I was really debating on which shocks I wanted to get. This is a no brainer.

Nice work on the vid...I ran Carli valved Fox on my 2011 F250 Lariat, which was part of the Backcountry suspension kit, huge improvement over stock..

Thank you for a great deep dive! Very much appreciated !

love your vid. Straight and to the point with statistics to back it up

Great video! Thank you for the time you put into this.

Good job Epic! Now I need to order my set also.

GREAT job! Good father/son project too.

Thanks for the video! Its awesome. This was the video I need to convince myself to get em. Thank You!

Awesome video. I learned a lot and would have never even thought of the difference.

Holy crap, an actual intelligent video on RU-vid with real usable data! This is GREAT, thank you for taking time to put it together. My only thought is to be careful using the word "better" - for some people, "better" is a stiffer, harder ride, for others, "better" is the absence of any road feel at all; so we don't want to make assumptions about what is better to someone watching the video. Thank you!

Brilliant! Dad taught me a lot, but I’ve never seen that socket idea! That was great, actually brilliant! Guys like your father, who figure shit like this out are a dyeing breed! Great video, thank you! Also, thank you for teaching that young man of yours the same! Those young guys will save our species!!😂🤞🏼Or so I hope!! You just got a new sub from me! “2016 F350/6.7” ✌🏼

Video is rad sir! Thanks. Love the data. NEED data.

I’ve done many shock jobs.........the socket is brilliant. And legit data, with footage on how you got your numbers. Tips hat. Much respect. Thank you.

Nice job buddy. Useful information. 👍

Im not following community guidelines for this one... With all due respect... Out fucking standing video good sir. Real data, real world conditions, passing know-how and mechanical aptitude to your son as your dad taught you. As a very seasoned vehicle technician of many years, I have to commend you. You are living life right, and helping others make an informed, educated, well rounded decision. The most inspiring and proper video for those in the market for the fox 2.0. Thank for the video. I'm subscribed for other content!

Great video and great testing too.

I liked because I appreciate the work put into this

I like this video the testing and video angles are great

Just did mine (2019 F250) with Fox 2.0. The jack and the socket was a lifesaver. Awesome tip. Thanks.

Great video and information! I have the Fox 2.0 #985-24-127 front shocks on my 2001 Land Rover and they are great! Going to get the rears done too.

awesome test and thanks for sharing the knowlege!

Very well put together. Thanks

This is the ultimate review😱

Thanks for making the video. I think what would help is fox 2.5 reservoir DSC system. They are price but they worked on my 2016 f250 super duty. They are adjustable. Ride like a dream on road and off road you can tune it up as easy as a click.

Wow wow actual testing love it

I've been searching for many months regarding whether or not they make a difference. Finally someone with some data. I will definitely be going for them. I have a Ranger and it honestly over exaggerates the bumps. This test is exactly what I was looking for

This video was fricken awesome.

Great test confirming what us off roaders already know. They rule. You should have gone even faster to find out the point at which the Fox transmitted the same force as stock. It's much higher I can tell you because the faster you go the smoother they get. Its the opposite of what stock shocks do. This is very helpful when towing a heavy load and finding an unintended put hole.

This is a really awesome video. I appreciate you taking the time to actually put some actual data analysis into your argument as opposed to just saying they are awesome and worth the money.

"How many people engage their bump-stops in every day driving ... " Everyone ... if you live in Massachusetts. ;)

Fantastic video and review of the shocks.

Thanks for the video, the Rancho shocks on my 2017 F250 are a huge upgrade in the smoothness of ride compared to the 2010 F350 I recently traded in. Enjoy your videos, keep them coming.

Great video! Well made!

Very cool video! Different, professional, looked like a awesome family time too with the kiddo. Good photography, objectivity and narrative. I wasn't expecting that today on youtube haha. Thanks! As for the shocks, I think we see here the real application for these shocks which is obtaining more wheel travel on a lift. I would go with the Bilsteins B6 shocks instead of the Fox for a firmer but dampened ride. But as you said, it's a matter of everyday driving preferences. I like a more sporty/firm drive. B6 is perfect. If I want something that will absorb more holes and bad roads, on the daily, I would go with B8 bilsteins or expensive fox shocks which is pretty much just longuer travel for the rods. That's why it was hitting that shock pad on the speed bumps. These bumps are also designed to have a bad angle forcing people to slow down no matter what. But its a VERY good test to show the difference. Thanks! For people: Basically the main difference in the 2 major aftermarket shocks types: You have those designed to be OEM replacements to give a better, more firm but also well dampened ride (tweaked, customised for your vehicle by professionals of that company). And then you have those who are made to allow lift kits to operate at greater ranges than stock. These fox shocks (not sure about the models we dont use these much around) are mostly hi-end lifted applications I believe.

Ya'll's faces when you hit the first speed bump!!!! Hahaha love your videos man. Make my day!

Great video , truck reminds me of the first time meeting Thomas S. Monson . He was driving in a brand new F350 when I first saw him in person

Real world tests! Thanks.

My back and neck hurt from watching this! Good clip

Nice video. Very scientific and objective.

Great job!!! Thanks for sharing.

Awsome work and editing.... Thanks

Actual data! you're the man!

This was a great video, thanks.

Great information, cuz! It's good to know there's a fellow RU-vidr in the family! :)

My dream suspension for my 2000 Explorer is throwing out the torsion bars and welding on some Fox coilovers for the front. Then going fox shocks on the back too. Maybe after I graduate next year. Till then I’m going with the Rancho RS9000XL.

This is how you do a review. Awesome.

Good job with the numbers.

Awesome review

Nice ,,, great idea on how to compress the shock to get them on , I actually have fix suspension on the front 2.5 with the adjustable reservoir attachment and 3.0 w/coilovers in the back .its about 18 months now ,, your test results are correct I Freakin love them ,, I recently learned that part of the reason why, they’re so expensive is after a few years of use you can take them off completely dismantle them ,clean them up replace what needs t be replaced put them back on and there suppose to be as good as new , I will definitely be trying to learn more about that process in another year or so

Subscribed due to video being straight forward.

2:15 best tip ever

thanks for the video you are a very intelligent person.again thanks for your time .

Great video and review.

Outstanding review.. very informative, thanks for your effort.

Very cool. You seem to be living the American dream .

Awesome job 👍🏾

Great Video, Thinking about upgrading my stock F150's with the FOX 2.0's.

Hey guys great video cool idea using the accelerometer on the smartphone to really look at the data

Holy science! Thank you!

Alright... I finally bit the bullet and bought the Fox 2.0 Performance shocks for my truck. Your tip on the rear install saved me done frustrations. The truck rides much better!!

Great video thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to create this video and a apply a semi-scientific approach to quantify the benefits of these shocks compared to oem. You would think FOX themselves would do something like this in their marketing literature.

I watched this video when you originally put it out and finally bought them yesterday. 28k on my 17 with those garbage ranchos, can’t wait to install them.

Good video and the jack tip

Just had mine put on yesterday 💯

Great video can you give me an update on how these have worked for you during the past two years? Love your videos.

More of this videos please!!!

Have had fitment issues with my Fox shocks. And went to replace/return them and its 4-6weeks to get them so went with my old favorites Bilsteins and they are great like always.

Thank you for a truthful analysis......👍 (Subscribed)

Great Video. I'm researching between the FOX and Bilstein currently. Both Resi Shocks. Right now Fox is winning with the Bilstein a close second

Like the socket tip

very useful info thanks

I have a 05 F250 SD Diesel 2wd. It has 75000 miles, and I get (imo)excessive bouncing in the front, when towing my trailer on these harsh roads at 40mph. I am shopping for front shocks. Maybe all 4, now that I see this. The bounce is limited to the front. Thanks for posting.

This is so good, we'd love you to run a similar analysis on some Fox 2.5s that we can send you

Great video. Those speed bumps I try to avoid will find a way in the parking lots to go around them. Just here gathering data to see if i want to spend the money on fox 2.0's for my Silverado.

Great video

Nice video!

Thanks for the info.

Great Video. Thanks

Great video thank you

Looks good for my downhill bike, been looking to upgrade to fox from rockshox

I bought a brand new 2019 Chevy Silverado with the duramax and it came with Rancho shocks, I recently installed a leveling kit that came with the FOX 2.0 shocks and what a HUGE difference in ride quality, the stock Ranchos are complete garbage, every bump I hit was jarring and I thought it was just a stiff riding truck until I installed the FOX shocks. I had them on my previous RAM 2500 with an 8” lift but with a lift you can’t really tell from stock so it was hard to say, being the Chevy is basically stock I was able to see the difference. I will always purchase these shocks in the future.

CUDOS!! Actual data. Very direct commentary with no BS or hype.... WOW.

Thanks for sharing

2nd visit. Thanks for the great video and information
