I will be contacting my distributor to see if they can propose a resolution. I am not looking for a ride similar to my previous F-150's but at least something better than the stock FX4 shocks. I don't know how the OEM shocks were doing anything since all four of them had oil running down them and would not even rebound laying on the ground after just 5,000 miles.

Never underestimate the placebo effect. I have changed shocks on thirty or so vehicles of mine over the years and the only night and day difference were 100,00 or more miles old shocks.
