Shocks for 2018
My rear drivers shock blew - now it's leaking. So I'm thinking I'd like to upgrade the shocks to Bilsteins of Fox shocks. Looking for suggestions and or a place to buy them. I have no plans to lift the truck - just going to have the standard height. Looking for a source and part #'s front and rear.

Fox are good and reasonably priced. I have a 6" BDS/Fox coilover on my 2014 F150 and those shocks make the ride ridiculously smooth. The Eibach springs help a little too though, but I also put a Metal Cloak 2.5" lift on my wife's Wrangler with Fox shocks and the ride is much better with that too

Yep, i haven't done the cut myself yet. And those that have, are pretty mum about it.
I suppose I could just rip it out and use an aftermarket bucket like the 08's:

I had bilstein 5100 on my 13 and liked them. I will post my results with the fox 2.0 once they are installed . Btw my factory Rancho had an oil leak on one of the shocks at under 1k miles

If you submit a note to Rancho they'll shoot you the part #s you need.
I've got the RanchoXLs in my future. Primarily for the adjustability of the ride for daily driving, towing and off-roadability. Just need to get 'em into the monthly budget. I'd like to go fox, but I really can't justify ~50% more for the Fox shocks when realistically I'll only be off road a very low percentage of my overall miles over the next couple of years.

I just ordered fox 2.0 for mine. Bought them locally but you can get part numbers at the fox site. I went fox because bilstein did not seem to have a part number for the rears.
I had bilstein 5100 on my 13 and liked them. I will post my results with the fox 2.0 once they are installed . Btw my factory Rancho had an oil leak on one of the shocks at under 1k miles

Do you have the part #'s ? The one's on the Fox site do not seem to be available anywhere.
