Looking at these now from an install standpoint.
The upper/ lower mount is the same as the X. This would also allow you to get a better shock under the X besides the only aftermarket KYB (the Rancho QL is just a Monroe shock by Tenneco)
Anyone have access to one to look at? Im fairly sure the shock can length and compressed/extended lengths are the similar to the X as well. The main difference would be valving(obviously made for a heavier F-150)
This item is designed specifically for the 2wd models and is not for use on 4x4 trucks. By moving a heavy duty snap ring up or down the machined shock body you can increase or decrease the spring pre-load, thereby providing more or less lift.
The best part, you can get rid of the crummy factory shock and replace it with the well respected Bilstein 5100 series shock. The Bilstein BE5-C300-H1 will provide a better on and off-road ride, an increase in height that you can adjust, so no matter how you look at it this is a win-win situation. This is an excellent alternative to high priced replacement coilovers!
This Bilstein shock can provide you with four different ride heights, basically from stock height all the way to 2.00" above factory height in 4 positions. These shocks are sold as a pair.
