SHOCKS
I love my F150 but the shocks are horrific,like riding with nothing
at all,esp the rears..every bump the truck jumps and gets unsettled
Has anyone tried any prev year models and see what fits ?
Not one MFG has any 2015 part numbers yet,I asked them all
This is not rocket science ,but I was stunned to find out KYB,Monroe
Bilstien you name it have nothing for us yet
at all,esp the rears..every bump the truck jumps and gets unsettled

Try Rancho RS9000s. Don't know if they have a specific 2015 and up shock yet, but it does have adjustable valving via a **** on the side. Lots of people like them. I haven't had a set myself, but I've had the Rancho RS5000s in the past and found them to be a big improvement over stock.

Rancho has no replacements yet either,I can buy something they sell for lifting my truck a few inches . However I dont see the need to change my front end height and deal with geometry changes and alignments .
It would seem the aftermarket is just slow as a turtle to make slight shock adjustments for new models . I guess they are waiting on demand
I did order these for the rear. Never heard of the brand but I needed something quick to keep the
rear of the truck from moving so much.. Notice it says 09-16..Ill know soon

I couldn't stand the poor handling of the stock shocks so I put bilstein 5100's for 2014 F150 in the rear of my 2015, it's an improvement. Found them online for $65 each shipped. Nothing available for the front from Bilstein yet. I think I heard Q3 of this year.
