Drive a 12 F250 6.2L supercab with a 3" lift but want to move to a 4", anyways I never tow more than a car trailer with quads on it so I'm looking to get the raptor quality ride. I was curious whats the difference between 5160, 7100, 9100, 8125 series shocks, i know the 8125 are coil overs so im curious about having those in the front but not sure on the price. I dont do hardcore off-roading but would like to be able to on occasion, plus i have a cabin with a 2 hour long dirt road with bumps that killed my stock shocks, literally one got bent pretty severely and I drive maybe 15-20mph on that road. I also go to the sand dunes often and would like to ride the flats and play in the desert a little bit. I have a budget of 2k for the suspension so I'd like to stay under 1k on the shocks, curious if anyone rides with the high performance shocks and if so how do you like them, would you get a different series.

 

I just installed the 5160s. Great looking and pretty nice ride, so far. I've only had them on for a week, but I will say the ride is just as good as the Rancho 9000s I had on my last truck. Maybe apples to peppers beings they were on my 00 F350 V10, and the Bils are on a 13 F350 6.7 D. Either way, I'm happy with the purchase and have heard many good things about them from friends and family.

 

Fox 2.0 w/custom valving by Carli......Love them and wouldn't change a thing, my F250 w/Carli suspension under it rides as good as any of the 3 F150's I had when they were stock..

I've run Billstein 5100's on numerous vehicles they make a good shock, have not tried any of the others you posted......I almost think the 5160 is a 5100 with a remote resvoir, not 100% sure though..
