Just bought 5100's

Just picked up set of 5100's from 4 wheel parts. 10% off, dropped them down to 288 + tax. Not too bad. Hopefully will have them by next weekend for install.

Cool. Bilsteins are significantly cheaper too. And I've seen gripes about customer service with Fox.

I’ve heard many stories of the 2.0s leaking and blowing after 10-20k miles.

I had the 5100s on my Chevy 2500 and currently
on my 08 f350. Love them

always wanted fox but maybe go with the 5100 for the 19 diesel

Then you have the fox 2.0 and 2.5 reservoir shocks which are probably complete overkill

What part number did you get for the fronts? Is your truck leveled?

Just got the ones for the 2-2.5 level, I have the snow plow package, so I am up about an inch over normal springs. Lots of people on here have used the same shocks on stock without issue.

Thank you, I am going to be heading over to the 4wheel parts this afternoon. They are supposed to be having a huge sale and rumor has it no tax either.

I am in North Idaho, they have a shop about 30 min from me. We are 6% so it comes out to the same price you paid. Hopefully they have them in stock, crappy weather today so its a good day to work in the shop.

They are having a one day, Madness In March sale, its 10% off every $100 spent, up to 30%. It is not a no sales tax promotion, so that would be additional.

That makes sense then, I added them individually to the cart. The link only takes me to the home page.

That total I posted is pre tax. They are only offering 10% off, not the 30%, so it drops the total to roughly $360 plus tax.
