Upgrading rear shocks on F150 and wanted to see if anyone has some real world experience with these. Bilstein 5100 or Fox 2.0.
Just looking to plant the truck a little better over bumps and maybe soften the ride up a little.
ETA: 2022 F150 2.5” front level

Had 5100s on my last three trucks. I love them.

Fox. I've run Fox and Kings on everything the last few years and love both. 5100's aren't a bad lower priced shock, but I've always preferred Fox given the choice.

I put 5100s on my 2017 F150 at about 80k miles. I really don’t like them. I didn’t expect them to ride smoother, but I expected more composed handling, like when hitting bigger bumps at highway speeds. It’s worse than stock, honestly.

5100s on my F150, feel great.

I put the 5100’s on the rear of my current f150. I can’t say I noticed any ride difference but it did eliminate fishtailing and loose back-end when hitting bumps

5160s
Rock auto suprisingly the cheapest.
Not that you'll ever need the external resi... But they are bomb proof.
Edit... No bilstein rides soft until you get to the 8100s.
If you want ride quality, you want icon.
