Default Fox shocks where to find? How to install?

where do you get Fox shocks for a stock height truck? (06)

Also if I were to get shocks for the front end of my truck, I assume you compress the spring and remove the shock that is in there and replace it? The stock springs are still used correct? I have never repalced shocks that are inside of a spring before, and struts come as an assembly...thanks

Nothing on their site either:

They dont even have any dodge options on that site at all... I think your best bet is to get the bilstein shocks, Ive never heard of anyone running fox shocks on a dodge, seen it on a lot of fords, and a couple of chevys...

You can definately run Fox shocks on our trucks, but just running them as replacements on a stock-height truck might be a waste of your money.. I'm sure you could find something else that will work well for alot cheaper.

you are probably right I just know how awesome their shocks are for quads, and I saw in the FAQ section that guys had the fox shocks. Probably will look into Bilstein.

If I get a set of fronts how do they install on my type of shock or strut or whatever those gay things are?

You need a spring compressor to pull the spring off of the struts (shocks) then it is just a matter of switching springs from shock to shock.
