04‑08 Ford F‑150 2WD Fabtech FTS30431 6 in Front Performance Replacement Shock Absorber – Single

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.

Key Features

  • 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)

Benefits

  • 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

  • Fits your lift and spring components seamlessly—no need to purchase a full shock kit

  • Factory warranty coverage included

  • Improved confidence and control at highway speeds and off‑road conditions

Product Specs

  • Size: Designed to match OEM collapsed and extended lengths for correct geometry

  • Color: Typically black housing with chrome rod and polyurethane bushings

  • Material: Twin‑tube steel body, chrome steel piston rod, polyurethane bushings

  • Weight: Approximately 13 lbs

  • Fitment: Single unit—sold individually; buy quantity 2 for a pair

  • UPC/GTIN: 674866029002

Install Difficulty Level

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. 

Vehicle Fitment

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

  • Does not fit 4×4 models or 2004 Classic edition (1997–2003 chassis)

Install Difficulty Level

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.
