Does my 2011 have the same shocks that you replaced? I drove all big 3 before purchasing my f350. The ride in Chevy and dodge were both " less bouncy" , .. I know, it is a 1 ton truck, but I did feel it could be better. Good to know it was a difference. The truck has 55k miles on it, I was gonna wait till 75k or so got replace. Is that too long?
It seems to be hit or miss with the OEM shocks. Guys report near total failure at less than 10,000 miles and others are still functional at 60-80,000 miles. On my 2006, they had failed long before 50,000 miles. On the 2011, I just replaced them at somewhere around 50,000 miles and although all 4 shocks still took quite a bit of effort to compress, New shocks were a huge improvement.
