Review on Enhanced Performance Monotube Shock - Skyjacker M9592 M95 by Isaac Logan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Skyjacker M95s on my 2011 F250 Lariat Diesel CC FX4

I have to say I did a lot of research before purchasing these shocks for my 2011 F250 Lariat FX4 CC. I looked at the Rancho 5000 and 9000 and the Bilstien 5100 and 7100. Most 2011+ F250 replace their HORRIBLE Motorcraft Ford Shocks (with the Rancho label) with the shocks listed above. They had pretty good results, so I decided to bite the bullet and try something different. I couldn't find any M95 reviews for my truck so thought I'd buy them and see how well they work. First I have to say that the price was the best price available for a quality gas monotube shock absorber. They look AMAZING and really decorate the truck (below). I was curious to see if they come with a duster as I didn't see it in any of the photos. NO, so I called Skyjacker and asked why. The Skyjacker rep was very knowledgeable and explained that they use a much better sealing system than any other shock. Most Rancho and Bilstien shocks use a nylon seal to protect the shaft and keep it clean. They apparently have a titanium ring with a Kevlar spacer which is way better than Bilstien and Rancho. In addition, the response time is 40% faster. Installing all 4 shock absorbers on my truck took about 1.5 hours. When I was done screwing everything up and making sure everything was installed correctly, I went for a quick test ride. I can only say WOW! The trip improved so much that my wife and daughter loved it. They HATE the ride before this update and now it drives about the same as my wife's Tahoe! They look great and work even better. I really couldn't have asked for a better result. I bought mine from another site that was offering 15% off so it doesn't show up as a verified purchase on Revain. Here is my comparison to the OEM shocks that were on my truck.
