Stock (factory) shocks suck. 2 of my 4 were done at 30k miles. Bilsteins get all the rave around here along with Fox, I think.
I'd use those up front but for the rear I'm gonna go with a regular, non-gas charged shock, probably from zone off road. Did this on my 2014 F150 and it rode so much better. I'm not doing the Baja 1000 in my truck so I don't feel like I need the gas-charged shocks.

If you have the factory “snow plow” option, the Bilstein 5100 std. works well, otherwise the 4600 series is just right. The reason is the 6,000 lb spring rating vs. the 5,000 lb. spring rating has the front end sitting up more level with the back end. And yes, also replace the factory steering stabilizer with a Bilstein as well.
I caught all 5 pieces on an amazon sale for a little over $400.
I run my 295-65-20 Toyo Open Country Extreme tires at 66lb. Pressure for normal driving and the ride is just what I’d expect from a pickup

The OEM Rancho that come on the FX4 package wear out fast. But the Rancho 9000 have held up well for me. Totally different shock than the OEM FX4 OEM shocks
