F150 8200 GVWR - Bilsteins one size fits all?
After 27k I thought I would upgrade the shocks on the truck. On the last trip I had a little more porpoise motion than I would like when going over some bumps in the road. Nothing bad, but thought it ...

I run 5100s on my 2009 f150 super crew 6.5' box. It is not the HD version. The 5100s are more tightly damped than stock or the 4600s and intended to control larger than stock wheel/tire combinations. The fronts also have four height adjustment options to "level" the truck. I run at stock height with the original wheel/tires. 275/65r18s.
You can definitely feel more of the road with them when unloaded and they work great while towing on my truck. With your extra leaf in the rear and possibly stronger front springs ( the long box supercrew has a strong front spring without the HD payload option. I need 4 spring compressors to swap the springs onto the bilsteins) the damping should match quite well.
