I've heard that they don't do much on road, only when towing. Is this true?

Mine handles a lot better regardless if it's towing or not. It's 100x's better with bodyroll especially on turns than the stockers. They are not as smooth as the Monroes I used to have on my Bronco - but for a truck this size I really wasn't looking for a mushy ride.

You can do this even though they (Bilstein) is offering a buy 3 get 1 free sale right now?


EDIT: I just entered the promo code, and it doesnt work, you sure its fordtruck?

Found this on the bottom of the ad. Have questions? Please call us at 800-245-7469. No other discount codes or promotions will be honored with the Bilstein Buy 3, Get 1 Free Promotion.

I tried ordering a set on the shockwarehouse portal, and it isnt taking the 4th shock off the final price. I tried doing it manually, but got nothing, I would love to support an FTE vendor, but other online storefronts are working but theirs isnt? Anyone know a trick, or shoudl I just call them?

Just ordered 4. Checkout calculated the fourth as FREE and came to $202.

How easy are these to install? Do it myself, or let one of my friend mechanics do it?
