Replacement Shocks

God Morning All::

I look around and couldn't find a easily find a thread I thought was related to my question so here goes.

I am looking to replace my 2021 F250's Shocks. On my old truck I had Bilstein 5100 shocks and had no complaints.
It's a daily driver (kid hauler, grocery getter, occasional towing anything from a small trailer to a large 5th wheel). What is out there?

Truck Specs:
'21 F-250 SD XLT 4x4
6.7 Diesel (Stock)
NO LIFT
AirLift bags for towing the 5th wheel

Check out one of our sponsors, rockauto.com. They have choices from the cheapest to the most heavy duty.

For OE replacement, go with Ford Motorcraft.

Good third party brand is KYB Gas-Adust.

Just stay away from Monroe; they don't last at all.

I like Monroe/NAPA gas magnums.

Saves me recommending them. I installed them on my '16 last June. OEMs were done. Did the stabilizer, too.
