Seems good so far. Set at highest level. Seems almost the same as dog but little bit lifted so that’s why I wanted not too firm
Trouble –
Way better shock than the stock ones. Less body roll and handle the less than quality roads here in Pennsylvania,

After installing the Bilstein 5100s in the rear of my truck I went ahead and bought these to level my truck. My truck had a 3″ rake from the factory and I used these on the second from the top option to give my truck 1″ of rake. Like the rears, the ride is much more planted and stiff; bumps don’t sway my truck and I love the almost perfect level look. Don’t have a single complaint.

Raise the front of my truck exactly where I wanted it

No overthinking, the Bilstein B8 5100 was an easy choice, paired with Rancho UCAs and Tuftruck rear springs netted me 3″ front and 2″ rear, very nice riding.

These are great shocks that are not only great value, but also eliminates bed hop. It’s definitely much more firm but not so firm that every time you hit a bump, your spine doesn’t disintegrate.

Order was shipped out quickly. Install was less than 30 minutes. Passenger side was the easiest. Driver side you have to work around spare tire guard ,but it wasn’t difficult at all.

I would have never imagined the difference these struts makes compared to stock. I always felt the suspensions are the weak point (along with the headlights) of the F150. After upgrading the rear with the Bilstein 5100, which was a breeze and a dramatic change in the car’s handling, I decided to upgrade the front to get rid of vibrations and stiff bump handlings. Installation took about 3 hours for each side (would take me 2 hours now that I know how to do it). Difference is night and day. The ride feels very smooth, dampened, controlled. I feel like I’m driving a high end sedan. They also keep the car very straight on curves. I should have done it a long time ago. One note: they don’t come with bump stops, and when I removed the factory struts, to my surprise one bump stop was missing and the other was much smaller than what stock bump stops look like (2018 certified pre-owned F150 3.5 Ecoboost with factory struts still on). If you can, make sure you have them installed by removing your front wheels and checking inside the little plastic protection at the top of the strut inside the spring. Highly recommend them, to me this purchase is a no brainer along with the rear ones.

My new F150 is a great truck, the only disappointment was the rebound over a small bump (speed bump). It would bounce 3 times which was too mushy. I read some reviews on the Bilstein 5100 shocks and ordered them from American Trucks. Once I installed them I took the truck for a spin. It was as good as I had hoped;!very controlled but not harsh over bumps. Do this modification!
