Bilstein Shocks

Finally got around to replacing the shocks on my 2015 F350. It had Ranchos on it when I bought it and I'm figuring they were the original shocks. The truck had 97,000 miles on it today when I replaced the shocks. It rode horribly - jarringly harsh. I replaced the shocks with a set of Bilstein 5100's. Took me 2 hrs in my driveway. I didn't remove the wheels or have to jack the truck up. The rubber isolators on the top of the front shocks were completely worn and warbled out. I took it for a spin afterwards and it definitely seemed smoother. Will have to see how it does on a longer trip. A very doable project for the average mechanically inclined.

My truck is factory height so I ordered the set for 0 - 2 inch lift.
