Default Rear Shock Replacment?

I have a 2003 FX4 and i have never really pulled anything or used the bed for s lot of hauling., very light duty. I have replaced the front shocks with Rancho 5000. Do I need to replace the back ones? It is still very stiff and the truck rides great.

Any thought would be great.

Thanks,

Good day,

I personally wouldn't fix it if it isn't broken... If you are good with the way it drives and rides, let 'em stay in a little longer...

Cheers!!

How do you like the Rancho's? My truck needs shocks and I was thinking of going with those.

They ride great. I don't notice anything different from the rancho's it had on when it was new. I would recommend them. I bought them through sears online. 42.00 a shock plus S+H.
