Shock recommendation?
Need to replace my rear and front shocks on my 2011 f250 4x4.. The truck has 35s on it, no lift. Should I stick with the stock shocks or get a longer pair? What are you recommendations on which shock? Bilstein 5100s?

I did Bilstein HDs (might be called B46 or 4600s?) since I'm at stock height and had no need for longer 5100s. They're stiff, and I like them that way. I would go with the correct length, and not put in a longer pair under you need the travel for a lift/leveling kit. All the 5100s I saw were longer than stock, but maybe they make them in the correct OEM lengths and I just didn't see it. My steering stabilizer is a 5100, it seems to work.

There's still time to get four Rancho's for the price of three...
I just received an email that mine will be delivered Thursday. My big plan is to install them on Saturday. The following weekend I'll be pulling my camper down to Charleston, SC and back. Really looking forward to it!

I'm sure the Bilsteins are great shocks like several people claim, but they also mention them being stiff. And another thing is..... they are what they are.... One setting. (stiff)
I went with the 9000s because they are adjustable. As my needs change, the shocks can be changed to suit the need.
Tracking info shows they'll be delivered to me Wednesday evening. I hope to install them and give a review soon after.
Oh, and like others have said.... since you're still at stock height, no lift... get stock length shocks.
