Gotta say tho the descent control is darn nice. I was off road on a mtn trail last weekend and it got be down a steep trail with big guys and rocks and let me look oversold and steer around obstacles. Luckily I didnt have to test skid plates.

I replaced my FX4 2016 rear shocks with 4600s
The part number on the Factory shock crossed to F250 shocks

My FX4 ride noticably stiffer than my dad's nearly identically equipped 4X4. But I also have the stiffer C load tires. I don't have shock complaints for either truck.

But I would like to clarify that the FX4 skid plates and hill descent control is $350, not the 770 everyone seems to quote if you're already planning on including the e locker since that price includes the e locker and Ford doesn't charge you twice for it. $350 for hdc and skid plates is not a bad price IMO.

Not correct. $770 charge, e-locker already on there.
