    This is the third truck that I have ran Bilstein 5100’s on. Replaced my stock shocks on my 2022 to improve ride quality. They are firmer in a good way by eliminating the floating that’s experienced with stock shocks when hitting bumps, and dips. They also do a great job of eliminating the body roll of the stock shocks on the F150.

    Easy to install and great ride! Less then an hour to install both.

  3. Gray2021 –

    A quick 20 minute install with a socket wrench and closed eyed wrench. A smoother ride over bumps and holes. Handles better in corners. Next up are the front struts

    My buddy and I did these in under an hour yesterday so quick and easy..don’t even need a Jack. I notice upon a test drive that there is less “ side step” on washboard bumps. I also pounded a set of railroad tracks at 40 mph to test the control and ride, it’s very good!

  5. DoloresF150 –

    Extremely easy install. Truck is much more planted and does not sway or swing when hitting any and all bumps. Would definitely recommend for all F150 owners. *Make sure you install them with the boots at the bottom. You should be able to read ‘Bilstein’ right side up not upside down!*

  6. AustinNelson –

    A must for the F150, improves the ride immensely and super easy to install, took all of 45 minutes and that’s because I took the tires off (not needed) to take some better photos. Do yourself a favor and buy a pair!

  7. Debow –

    Really great shocks, ride smoother over bumps ride quality is better.

  8. Masters247 –

    Near Factory ride but better. Definitely need these when you go with heavier tires.

    What a difference man. There’s a stretch of road here that has a lot of undulations and made the front flex one way and the rear the opposite. Now the front still moves but very predictable and feels soft but the rear is planted and feels secure. No more floating cargo box!

    Purchased for a 2020 Ford F150 5.0. Prepping for a four month overland trip pulling a small tear drop. We have some sag when connected to our 3000lb trailer and had read lots of reviews abot the 5100, so thought they could improve our handling and towing. Watched some youtube videos on installing (I’m 68 and 90% disabled) and having all the tools, decided to give it a try. Shocks were shipped quickly but did not arrive together, in fact a day apart. First shock still had the white compression strap and that was good. The second did not and was sticking out of the Bilstein box. Someone had made a larger box and stuck the shock and box inside. I will say the first shock took me about 35mins. I struggled to get leverage to compress the shock sufficiently to connect the lower bolt. Work smarter not harder, I grabbed an old $4 ratchet strap and compressed the second shock and attached it quickly. Second shock took about 15mins. After install I noticed the rear sits a bit higher than it did. Driving I do notice a difference. Truck feels grounded to the road – if that makes sense. In a couple of weeks we’ll hook our trailer up and I suspect the Bilsteins will level the connection. All in all very pleased with my purchase, no so much with shipping. That said, American Trucks did give me a $10 voucher.
