Us fellas had no idea when watching this that Timmy would say “Fox Shocks” that many times. So we’re going to watch it again & every time he say “Fox Shock”, we’re going to have a SHOT 🥃. A SHOT for the SHOCKS 😂. This should be fun. 😂
hiccup. didn't expect to get wasted on a Wednesday night.
@@bucky716 , right or BLITZED 🥴. 😂
shotgun
😂😂😂
Sweet upgrade. Get yourself a breaker bar cause smacking those ratchets will break the internal mechanism after a while timmeh.
Nice to see a guy who cares about his rig. You take the best care of it and it will take the best care of you
She treats me pretty well for putting 80k miles on it since i've owned it haha
Fellas that's a going to town rig
Impressive, how self-reliant you are! Keep being you. 👍🇨🇦😎
aww shucks thank you:)
Love the build .and the obs truck .always love your adventures too. Kinda jealous won't lie lol .soon enough Ill be living in a mini bus
get some 1/2 inch drive tools and anti-seize the bolts/nuts when you put back on...
This vid is timely as I am currently trying to size up some shocks for my 2000 E450 Ambulance. I do not know much about shocks. But I am concerned about the length of your front shocks. @8:39 it looks like you only have a couple inches before the shock begins to limit your wheel travel. Maybe you should send a photo of how they fit to the guys you bought them from and see if they see a problem.
Yup it was my fault, I told them them the wrong lift, they still work great though.
@@TruckHouseLife Bummer. Mistakes happen. Thanks for the reply!
Great video! Those old shocks earned their stripes but boy howdy, it was time to retire them. I bet your cross country trip is smooth sailing.
yup was awesome!
Not sure how long that took you. When we did my Silverado, we put it on a lift, used a nut splitter, and used new nuts with the shocks. It took about 30 minutes total.
Shoot-Dang ! Compete Performance been is biz 20yrs and those bloody shocks got em beat by 5+ yrs , ie been on 25+ Holy Guac !! YOU WIN 😁 ~peace~
I like it. I like it a lot!!
Gotta get yourself a milwaukee impact.....there a must have....and save alot of work
I hate long away premiers. Just post the video :) 💘🤠
Hope the arms okay big man
I do Premiere so I can live chat with you guys while the video is premiering, if I just posted I can't live chat;)
🇬🇧👍👍👍awesome job Timmy informative as always my friend looking good stay well on your travels 😎🤟Dave 🇬🇧
I have those on my power stroke four-wheel-drive van they lasted just over two years before they began to leak in the are not rebuildable. I’ve since put the remote reservoir fox on and there an even better upgrade for the big heavy girls like we drive!!
Do you know what those resi shocks were for? I can't find them for my obs
@@The.psmith have a straight axle conversion to four-wheel-drive and I got the 92 to the 2003 S 250 stock rear height and 2 inch lift for the front
F250 sorry typo
Penetrating oil works wonders
New shocks make all the difference in the world
Mmm. I didn’t see the frontiersman approved firewood safety wheel chocks. But hey, the e-brake is a good second choice. 😉🤙
Can’t go wrong with the proven Fox
Props to Skyjacker!!! If them mugs lasted 25 yrs, WOW.
For sure!
I've got some Fox 2.0's coming on Tuesday. I've got a shot back so I'm just trying to improve the ride. I'm a little concerned with what looks like maybe 1.5" of available travel on your front shocks at 8:39 though. Doesn't that bottom out on you? The shock body looks too long.
Awesome Clint, you'll love em, I accidentally ordered the wrong ones, but somehow they don't bottom out lol, even with all the trails I wheel in Colorado and Moab.
I really like your rims.

@@TruckHouseLife hey thanks.
“Boys & GIRLS “….. How did you know a few of us Girls would be watching? Love to learn new this. Walked into 101 Auto mechanics class in the 80’s. Only girl in the class. Only wanted to learn how to do simple maintenance! SO Thankful for that semester! PEACE. THANKS for the video
No worries:)
These "boys" aren't too talented as they missed the bushings sent with the new shocks...
Don't rely on their "expertise" in your future learning...there are so many more quality vids available...
Replace those rusty bolts with some Grade 8 bolts 💪🏻
The shock is never hard to decompress by hand I have never experienced an issue with any sort of struts and never had to cut the band and put the bolt in at the same time because the bushing in that design is meant to be tight the shock would never have enough power to get it self in!
@Yo Joe are you stupid buddy you don’t do anything near compared to what I do gtfoh fuckin noob I build race cars for living
@Yo Joe what fuckin TH-cam bud you don’t have 1 video, i Atleast have a whole build page and I’m sponsored by enough company’s get the fuck out of here talking out your ass, your gf cheat on you this morning? Seem alittle bit but hurt I’m sure you leave those straps to replace you space ships struts fuckin clown
@Yo Joe you litterally sound like a clown how you tryna correct me when I do this shit everyday for living😭😭😭🙈go back to your little truck😂💯
If a Fox shock shocks a fox does the Fox feel shocked?
How much fox could a fox shock shock if a fox shock could fox shocks?
Can y’all keep your mouths shocked for fox sake?!?!?
Did you put the shackle reversal on the truck? I would think those shocks would be from when the 4 inch lift was put in. I have the exact same setup on my truck.
Came with it
I see those Grapplers are wearing down.
Got Toyo AT3s on there now 37s
That you got new shocks I guess you can take any girl on a date LOL but are you going to get your rims changed out with the right offset the seem a little close to the springs thanks for making great videos 😎👏👏👏👏
Install airbags on rear axle and it'll have lower body roll
Shocks gonna need boots.. should do steering stab too
I think they're meant to run without them.
Right on.. sick ride either way
Hey Timmy. How have you been able to keep your rig pretty much rust free?
don't look at the frame;)
Your driveshaft damper looks like its failing.
Give it a wiggle, and if its loose, cut it off
Hey man where did you get that bumper from?
Do they fronts shocks bottom out ever?
I also have a brand new set the skyjacker shocks on my truck that look just like that lol. So I don’t think they would be 25 years old
yup they're the originals with the lift;)
Γειά σου. Από Ελλάδα τιμ
Dude, spray penetrant on nut thread sides of bolt and get a half inch breaker bar. No need for heat. Wasting time and scraping your knuckles for nothing. Love you videos though. Also wrong shocks. You prob. already know
from the noise.
Just missed you at my work @ Camping World Wood Village (Portland). Wish I had a chance to meet you. Still in the Northwest??
Lol nice! yup be here a few months
@@TruckHouseLife would love to camp with ya and check out your rig. North Georgia was my old stomping ground back in the days. Have made it to Alaska, but it’s on the list. Thanks for responding.
Soft hands, cute dimples 🥰😍
Nice name lol!!!
lol
Did you ever get the right length front shocks? P/N? Thank You
nope been rallying the same ones, kept a close eye and seems to be alright
Do you need to have a lift kit in order to put on new shocks?
nope
How long did it take to blow out your front shocks lol? You can see they are WAY too long! Maybe 2” of shock travel and it looks like 3 times that between the bump stop and spring. Don’t rely on someone else to figure out shock lengths, you gotta do the measurements yourself as is obvious by looking at how bad these fit your truck.
If you have any questions about the burn coming up, hit me up at my username at gmail. This year is going to be completely different from what you experienced previously. I'll be out there early this coming Wed. night at sunset and there all through the next next Tuesday morning. Won't have service there, so any questions, hit me up early. See you in the dust.
Cya there man!
👍👍👍👍
Enjoyed again Timmy how about sending me Matt's channel contact wrote it down, but had a senior moment lost it😊 I'll tell him one of his buddies sent me ( 7.3 diesel strokeford 1996😊
@alaskacabinadventures
I'm shocked 😳
lol
Hey Timmy, are you the original owner of this truck? truck is In great condition
Nope 2 other owners.
idk. The shock body looks too long. The shaft doesn't have much of a stroke before it bottoms out.
It's a little long but will do for meow.
What if its a regular shock with Fox sticker.
well crap then lol
@@TruckHouseLife whatever it is, it'll work just fine. I was always amazed with your improvements on your truck house. It's ever increasing upgrades are always practical. Keep on trucking and take care.
PB blaster spray, need lube
Hey Timmy, Do you have a RSK on your OBS?
yup!
Where did you get your lift? How tall is the lift? Have you rebuilt the front or rear ends? If so, where did you order your parts?
What did you get for the rear shocks?
Fox 2.0 from Complete Performance
Was it 1" or 4" shock is what I meant. Sorry.
it was for a 2" lift (6" rear lift blocks vs the stock 4" blocks)
@@Sundstrom21
@ 8:39 your front shocks are to long the shock is going to bottom before the springs contact the bump stops is what it looks like in the video
Yup they are a little long, it was my fault I told them the wrong size lift lol
@@TruckHouseLife if you have room you could always raise the mounts
U called the old shocks clapped out but didn’t even test them
They were soft, just didn't show it on camera
Nice upgrade but I’m baffled why you didn’t replace the 20 plus year old shocks when you replaced all of the leaf springs? That would’ve been the time to do it when everything is off and apart. Those shocks aren’t that super expensive and are completely necessary.
You dont need anything off to replace the shocks and Alaska isn't exactly full of stores that carry every part in stock. When you have to order things you are at the mercy of the ahipper.
Couldn't afford them at the time, they ain't cheap.
You are lucky you dont live in the midwest...they over salt all of our roads because the idiots dont know how to drive on snowy roads.all of our vehicles are rusty and fun to work on(NOT).
VERY 🆒💩‼️
Is it mandatory to have a lift kit in order to be able to use ,fox shocks on obs ford?
nope
hit up Complete Performance and ask for Paul, tell him Timmy/Truck House Life sent you and they'll get you set up with the right Fox shocks.
