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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear shock specifically valved and sized for a 5.5 inch rear lowering kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatches damping to the F-150's reduced rear ride height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents premature wear from running a stock-length shock at a lowered ride height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in the USA to Ridetech HQ Series quality standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-fit replacement designed to pair with Ridetech's F-150 rear lowering kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFitment Table\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015-2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF-150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12299525\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor use with Ridetech 5.5in rear lowering kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1x Ridetech RID12299525 rear HQ Series shock\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout Ridetech\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRidetech designs and manufactures coilover, air suspension, and chassis components in the USA, focused on improving ride quality, handling, and stance for street and performance trucks.
