I have the Bilstein HD's that do a great job. These are not adjustable in the front like the 5100 series.

just bought bilstein 5100s, going to keep it stock height though. i looked into fox, had them on my f-350, the only ones they had were going to be over $2000 for front and rears.

Probably one of the cheapest + they sponsor our site. Mention code F150 (if I recall correctly) on the page where you enter your CC info. and receive 5% off.

You've got a lot of options. For OEM simple replacements, I have always liked Rancho. You can also consider an adjustable shock to replace your OEM shocks, in case you want to raise your truck for bigger tires or just to have a leveled truck.
