bilstein ride quality
i just got my f150 back from Ford and they installed a bilstein 5100 leveling kit in the front. it was set at 2.25" of lift. I am running brand new 20x10 fuel mavericks on 33" nitto ridge grappler. immediately I noticed how horrible the ride quality is. you hit a little tiny bump and you just sit there and bounce. wondering if anyone else had this problem and what was the solution. thanks

[QUOTE=steve(ill);18551651]you better go back to FORD and have them drive it and look it over... Bilstein should NOT do anything like that.[/QUOTE
the manager drove in the parking lot and he said "it rides stiff but that's what you wanted" no that's not what I wanted. it took them 2 days to install the front adjustable struts. it is set on the highest setting so if I drop it down an inch will the ride quality change? I'm calling bilstein first thing in the morning to see what is going on. thanks

When I put Bilstein 5100s on the back of my 2009 F150, the ride was way stiffer. I liked the stock shock ride MUCH better. Actually, 120,000 miles later, I still have them on the back of my truck. Maybe I'll finally replace them with something softer, maybe the RS9000XLs like the ones that I have on my F450.
