A little over a week ago I started hearing a thump when backing out of or pulling into my driveway. I would occasionally hear it around town when going over bumps or hitting a pothole. Made sure nothing was rolling around in the bed or in my under seat storage box. Got home and started googling what it could be and found a laundry list of things to check. The truck sat for a few days and when I got time to crawl around under it I discovered the passenger rear shock appeared to be leaking oil. That would explain the weird sticky spot on the garage floor where I assumed someone had spilled a soda and not cleaned up. I have contacted Fox but it looks like I'm 13 days out of warranty. Thoughts? Suggestions? I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a set of the Fox coil-overs but now I've started looking at a full Bilstein kit if Fox doesn't warranty the shocks.

 

Yup, it's blown. I'm also assuming the other side is clean? Well, as clean as an undercarriage part can be expected to be. Lol

 

Yessir, the driver side is clean and clunk free.

 

Then yup, 100% confident that it's blown. How long is their warranty? What would they charge to rebuild it vs replace?

 

If you're looking to change I've got BOSS (formerly F150Lifts), I really like them. Had them about a year, and put around 17,000 miles on them. No issues at all.

 

One year, apparently. They requested photos and a copy of my invoice so I sent that to them but I haven't heard back since.

 

That's kinda weak... Maybe they'll come through and replace it.

 

Rancho requested the same when I had them and had a leak within the first few weeks.

 

I bought them through Stage 3 Motorsports, do you think they could do anything to help?

 

IIRC, you're like the 2nd or 3rd person here that had a blown Fox 2.0 shock. See if Fox will cover. If not, try another brand. I'm sure you'll see this all over the forums but Bilsteins would be my choice. They are proven. I ran them on 3 different trucks. The first two trucks were abused and the shocks showed zero signs of damage.
