2014 4x4 front suspension difference

My brother just traded his 14 f150 5.0 in on a new 16 and he bought procomp zx2111 adjustable shocks that he never installed. Have a friend who has a 13 5.0 and we want to install them on his truck but box says they only fit the 2014 f150s. Just wanted to know what the difference is before we waste a day trying.

It's all in the lower mount. Here's a pic, '13 LCA on the left. '14 LCA on the right.

The '09-13 mount has a horizontal through bolt.
The '14+ mount has two vertical bolts.

Still not sure why Ford did this mount change on the last MY run before a big design change, but it sure did complicate things.

Yes he is correct and coil overs are so much more expensive!!! Also they are using this design for the 2015 trucks. Looks like its a better/ stronger mounting surface.

Thanks mcdavis. I didn't think they would change it for one year but I guess I was wrong. Would the 2014 struts fit the 2016 by any chance?
