Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) is a California law that applies to all companies selling products in California. Proposition 65 requires warnings if a product contains any listed chemical present above very low levels that are known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Proposition 65’s warning standards are among the most stringent in the world. Proposition 65 is not a product safety law, but rather a “right-to-know” law. Businesses are required to provide warnings to comply with Proposition 65. These warnings are required to be in place for all products offered for sale in California.
There are over 800 chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which is administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals. Proposition 65 warnings can be seen for a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including Automotive Performance products, and warnings can be seen posted throughout California in a variety of establishments such as hotels, restaurants, automobile dealerships/repair shops, and retail stores just to name a few.
To comply with the requirements of Proposition 65, this warning is present on all products sold by MPT.

Fabtech part number FTS30431 is a single front shock assembly engineered exclusively for Ford F‑150 2WD models from 2004 through 2008 that are equipped with the Fabtech 6‑inch suspension lift.
This high-performance shock absorber is the updated direct replacement for earlier Fabtech units, specifically engineered to deliver superior ride control and damping for lifted F‑150 trucks. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Fabtech 6‑inch lift system, it requires reuse of the existing coil spring, spring seat, and hardware. Boasting a twin‑tube hydraulic design with high‑velocity 9‑stage valving and a closed cell foam insert to minimize shock fade, this shock ensures consistent, controlled performance—whether cruising on highway or tackling rough terrain.
Engineered for perfect compatibility with Fabtech 6" suspension lift
High‑flow 9‑stage valving for responsive, smooth damping
Twin‑tube hydraulic construction for durability and reliability
9/16″ hardened chrome piston rod & 1 3/8″ OD piston for strength and precision
Closed‑cell foam insert to reduce heat‑related fade at high speeds
Polyurethane bushings for long life and noise reduction
Direct replacement for PN FTS22014BK (older style)
Delivers enhanced ride quality and handling over stock shocks on lifted trucks
Helps reduce shock fade on long or aggressive driving thanks to foam insert
Built to last with tough chromed internals and quality hydraulic design

UPC/GTIN: 674866029002
Installing the FTS30431 is considered straightforward and bolt‑on friendly. According to enthusiast feedback, front shock replacements (when spring is reused) can be completed in as little as 30 minutes per corner, requiring only basic tools and no lifting of the vehicle.
This shock fits only:
Model Years: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Make: Ford
Model: F‑150
Drive: 2‑Wheel Drive (RWD)
Application: Must be used with Fabtech 6″ suspension lift kit only

This shock is easy to install for anyone familiar with basic suspension work. Front replacements typically take about half an hour per side, especially if the coil spring and hardware are reused. Minimal tools are required, and no full vehicle lift is necessary.
