Fox shocks...
So I've read great great reviews about the fox 2.0 shocks. Long story short someone local to me has a set of 2.0 off his 11 f-150 which should fit my 18.
He only want's $60 and they look bran new.....really worth the effort to change them..just shocks?

And, assuming you're just talking about rears, it's not a lot of effort. Four bolts, you don't even need to jack up the truck (although it may be helpful depending on your work space); the hardest part may actually be holding the shock compressed to the right distance to get it installed since the normal plastic strapping has already been removed (having a ratchet strap handy might be a good idea).
Yes get them. Your going to notice the ride quality is really good. I don’t have them on my truck right now but I plan on putting them on my truck when put on the 6 inch bds kit with upgraded fox shocks

It'll work on the rear, but not the front, unless you can get a pinbar somewhere. The Grade 8 bolts are easy to find.
If the bushings are the same size on your OEM fronts, as the bushing on the Fox, you might be able to pull the pinbar and stick it in the Fox.

I just changed mine yesterday ('19 XLT Screw) and it was about as simple an upgrade as possible.
It absolutely isn't necessary to jack up the truck. You can easily reach the top bolt from outside the wheel well and the lower is easily reached by laying on your back under the vehicle. It took longer to assemble the tools (18mm box end wrench, 15 mm socket, impact gun, torque wrench, blue loctite for the threads, and a small pry bar to help leverage the shock into place after you attach the upper arm) that it took to complete the change.
