Anyone upgraded their stock shocks for Bilsteins? I was wondering how they perform. I do mostly city/highway driving and have no lift or anything. I heard they are very stiff, any comments? Thanks!

 

I love mine. They did make the truck ride a lot better that stock. Helped out with the cornering too

 

I got the 5100's and I say do it, they are a MAJOR improvment over stock.....
It is a more firm and much more controled ride

 

I have the Bilstein HD's on my 07. They firmed up the ride, but by no means are they uncomfortable. Cheapest set I found was off shockwarehouse.com 320 delivered.

 

TUFF4RD, I saw you playing races with a black FX4 On 107 about two days ago , right before you turned into pan am

 

Tuff4rd, which Bilsteins did you use (part #'s if you have them)?
The 5100's or the 5100 preload adjustable?
I've got a 2" spacer up front and the 1.5" aal in the rear, I was wondering which set would be the best.

 

I've got Bilstein 5150s in the rear and they ride amazing for how cheap they are, Bilsteins are perfect!

 

Im gonna run all 4 bilsteins when I get my lift installed

 

Thanks guys for all the comments. Think I will go Bilstein and the cheapest I found was shockwearhouse.com. $80 for the front shocks, I thought it was a mistake, maybe I should order them quickly before the price changes! I will let everyone know MY opinion when I get them installed. Oh and I just realized the search feature and found hundreds of posts just like mine. Oh well, at least I popped my F150online cherry!

 

80 for the front?? are you sure those arnt the rear, I paid 80 for each rear and 150 or somthing for each front. those were the 5100's though maybe you are looking at the standard replacement

 

theres a seller on ebay selling a set of all four shocks for about 280 shipped. I was gonna buy them until I realized they wernt the rouch bilstiens

 

I had 2.5 DS spacers before they were removed in place of the 5100's...
Theses are the one's I have on the truck now..

It was hardly a race with bumper to bumper traffic, the guy just got on my @ss and pulls next to me and revs his truck

I would have loved to been on a open highway with him pulling that crap on me Wait, dont tell me that was you????
I have not seen you around lately, did you move?

 

Thanks.

 

Does anyone know how much just the front 5100s are and where I can buy them from?
