Unless you plan to lift the truck there is no need for 5100s on the front. I'm Ford and most I read about on the forums do the 5100 front and rear either for looks, level or a combination of both. I did raise my front 3/4" using the first setting because the rake I had left me feeling as if I was constantly going down hill.
The 4600 are the same valving in a different package and a bit more left in the wallet.2018 F150 XLT 301a, Screw, 4x4, HDPP, Max tow, Andersen Ultimate w/ Curt Double Lock hitch.

I replaced all the shocks on my truck in early May, best price I could find for the entire set of 5100s for my F350 was on Amazon. $285.36 plus tax. Grabbed the matching steering damper a couple of weeks later for $89.25 plus tax. Again on Amazon.

Update
Just got them put on (COVID delay) and i really like them. Installer was very confused, tried to install front boot up, but for my truck boot goes down.

When towing I set mine on the max. I think that is 9.
When not towing I set them at either half way or one click lower.
I found that at the lowest setting I get a bit too much bounce (not enough shock absorption).
So far, so good on our travels. I just find I get lazy once disconnected and don't change them. I only reset them once I get back home.Larry KE4DMG

Thank you so much. I will start with 5 on both and then switch to 9 as you do for towing.
