Complete the Stance with a Matched Rear Shock
The Ridetech RID12299525 Rear HQ Series Shock is engineered specifically for 2015-2026 Ford F-150 2WD/4WD trucks running Ridetech's 5.5 inch rear lowering kit, giving you a rear shock tuned to match the reduced ride height instead of forcing a factory-length shock to work outside its intended travel range. Pairing this shock with your lowering kit keeps damping characteristics correct after the drop, protecting ride quality and preventing premature shock wear that can happen when a stock-length shock is stretched or compressed beyond its design range. Built to Ridetech's HQ Series standards in the USA, the RID12299525 is the correct rear shock to complete a properly set-up lowered F-150.
