Shock Upgrade

I have been considering replacing my OEM shocks with one of these brands. But, is the difference really that noticeable? I'm looking for better ride on my daily driving.

I bought the Bilsteins for my 2004 F150 at Shock Warehouse. Recently put Bilsteins on my 2013 F150. Found a better price at Summit Racing. I really like the Bilsteins.

Bilsteins on all my trucks - Standard yellow shocks - 5100's Put them on my 2004 and 2005 GM trucks. - replaced after delivery. 2011 at 20,000 miles, Suspension seemed better on the 2011.

I put them on my 2006 silverado. what a difference in controlled ride..

Ive used bilsteins on all my vehicles for over 25 years.

I was turned off by ranchos when I had a few break on me at the mounting points..

I have had the adjustable and they work fine but once set I never touched them. The 4600's adjust to the conditions, just install and forget.

Just tossing out one other consideration for you, which is Rancho 9000’s. They are adjustable with a dial on each shock with 10 setting. I just change out all 4 on my Ram and was going to do the Bilsteins too. Since I have had Bilstein in the past and really liked them and they were way cheaper the Rancho. But after lurking around a bit I purchased the Rancho’s through Rock Auto and Rancho has a Rebate going on if you buy 4 shocks you get a $120 rebate. They were about the same price as Bilstein’s. I have only had them on for a couple months with the ride set on level 3. I am getting a way better ride, and so far happy with the choice. Also I found Rancho tech support to verify part numbers as fantastic to work with. I don’t think you can go wrong with either choice though.
