The fronts are the same part numbers as F350, rear part numbers depend on which bed configuration you have. Happy to help figure out which you need.

I was hoping Fox could confirm fitment on this one too, but they haven't checked the F-450.

We need the following measurements front and rear:
Shock eye to eye @ride height
Axle to bump stop rubber @ ride height
Axle to frame metal (under bump stop) @ride height
Upper shock bolt diameter & mounting width (rear only)
Lower shock bolt diameter & mounting width

If anyone is close to Carson, CA you can stop by and we'll check the measurements.

Would it help to know a competitive shock part number in order to view their specifications? Monroe lists part 65174 as a rear shock for a 2017 f450 pickup body. I'm interested in Fox shocks for my f450 but I'm not near enough to Carson to bring the truck by.

I too will be upgrading.

2017
F450
Lariat
4x4
CCLB (they all are)
6.7

Sounds like possible group buy building.

What can you do for us 'Accutune'

So I looked up the Monroe Data (good idea!) and it says the shock is 17.063" Collapsed and the Fox is 17.85" Collapsed. We'll need to measure it to be sure they'll fit.

Basically measure eye to eye at ride height.
Measure shock angle.
Measure axle to rubber bump stop.
Measure axle to frame metal.

That should make us more comfortable.

Thanks,
-Ryan

my 2011 with platnum white looked more white than my wife's 17 150 and my 17 350. But both 17s look the same. Looks to have more pearl in it than it did. The dealer told me they are the same paint code as my old 2011 but my old truck looked different so to sun fading. I wasn't buying it.
