    Bilstein 5100's are a great shock.

    Have them all around on my F150. Purchased the upto 2" adjustables. Leveled it out and made it corner almost like a Indy race truck. That with a Helwig antisway, dual path airbags, and 10 ply LTs made towing my 5er great! Probably put them eventually on my Superduty SRW too.

    Great timing! I still have my original Rancho's (63,000 miles) and have been looking at the 5100's. Was there a break-in period for you?

    Just replaced factory shocks
    I’m just curious….. Why did you replace your shocks? Just looking for an improvement on ride? Or did something wear out? I’m asking because I have 30K miles on my 2019 and am curious about what kind of life I can expect from my stock setup. Thanks!

    It's worth it well before they're needed. I did it on my 150 and I may replace them on my 350 before I tow with it.

    I've been running 5100's since 2012, like others have said, they are a great shock. 3 out of the 4 original Rancho's were shot.

    I put Bilstein 4600s on the rear of mine and it made a noticeable difference both empty and towing.
    Factory shocks were still fine, but the Billsteins are better.

    My super duty shocks were trashed within a few short months. In 18 I replaced them with fox 2.0. On my newest truck I replaced them with bilstein 5100’s since fox shocks has more than doubled in price and were months back ordered. The bilsteins have been great. It’s about time for new ones again.
