Bilstein 5100 (Leveling) Shocks Installed

Before:



After:





I installed the rear shocks myself... easy... took me longer to take the wheels off.

Ford quoted me 1.5 hours to install the front ones. Not easy. Need a spring compressor. Need a wheel alignment afterwards.

The shocks feel great. Not too harsh. Barely noticeable on "regular" roads but, over ruts and potholes, the truck feels planted and doesn't jump around. Not that the stock F-150 is bad... but these are better.
