I'm thinking about upgrading my shocks and struts on my 09 Lariat 4X4. Are there any good products out there to improve the ride and handling over stock?
KYB, Monroe, Bilstein, Rancho would all be suitable options for you. KYB and Monroe are very similar to OEM ride and quality with a slightly more refined ride. Bilstein and Rancho will tighten up the ride some, call it "firm" if you will.
The Ranchos seem to be overblown. I've been happy with the Bilsteins.
I cannot argue this at all, as they are a popular choice.
I believe that ProComp now offers a reasonably priced option for our trucks too. You could always spend some serious coin and look into Icon and/or King.
I put Bilstein HD's on my 11 XLT 4x4 and I really liked them.
I have the 5100's on my Truck with P265/70r17 A/T tires and love the ride. Can't say its that much better than my dad's '11 Scab EB with 275/xxR18 stock rubber and shocks. Not quiet identical but I would have to drive them back to back to really notice.
Anybody know if there is much weight, or weight distribution, difference between the Coyote and EB power trains?

Or... Get bilstein and not have to worry about returning if you're not satisfied or have to worry about spam.
What's spam here? He asked for suggestions on shocks. As a sponsor I offered advice, I didn't say, "Buy ours." . I would love to see more shock companies offer the same 90 day guarantee as ours, that is how much we believe in our products. Remember not all people like a monotube style shock.....
