Another Bilstein 5100 guy here. Easy install in my driveway. Just turned the wheel to give me more clearance.

[@Farout397]

Do they make them for a stock 2019 f250 4x4 diesel? All I’ve found is “lifted only”

[@terrydtdi]

I went with the Bilstein 5100’s really like them. Also great for pulling the 14,000 lb fifth wheel.

[@jlweck231978]

I am looking into them but they show for a 2-2.5" lift in the front. I didn't lift my front end. Are you running stock height in the front with these or did you lift the front?

[@Buszzbait69]

Did you have a BW gooseneck ball? How did you deal with rear passenger side top stud for taking shock off?

[@erod6214]

I replaced mine on day one on my 2021 F350 dually with bilstein and did a dual front steering stabilizer with fox Factory were junk right off the bat. Had replaced the rancho junk on my 2019 F350 as those were junk also

[@harryfettermedia]

Fox 2.0's all the way! They make such a huge difference. Worth every penny.

[@dirtysouthoutdoors1]

Mines fx4 so it had ranchos from factory , actually just replaced them went with the factory ranchos since they had the covers

[@ktate2002]

I was taught to tighten/torque the bolts/nuts of suspension parts after the vehicle is returned to “curb” position or in this case, off the lift and back on the ground. Some people refer to this as “clocking” the suspension. This prevents the bushings from being stretched when the weight of the vehicle is returned to the bushings. Premature wear is prevented.

[@ryanbrown918]

Bilstein 5160's with a matching stabilizer 🤘 The Rancho's on the FX4's are the biggest piles...

[@Patrick-zm8jp]

I went Bilstein. I wanted to try Fox but couldn't justify the additional cost over Bilstein. As I understand it, the ride is very similar between the Fox and the Bilstein and they are both significantly different that the oem. OEM = Progressive dampening Fox = Linear dampening Bilstein = Digressive dampening

[@vince5506]

Glad to see this video Arod! Been wanting to change out my factories. I’ll be curious to see what you get my man 👍🏼

Bilstein 5100 AT 31,800 MILES. All four wheels and the steering. Death wobble forced the front end work. Rears were just to keep all new. 2019 F250 CCLB FX4.

[@mjbskidoo]

Great video!!!! I have Bilstein shocks on mine. Love them

[@hollywooddave1367]

Great video. Just changed the shocks on my 2011 F250’ 6.7. Had Rancho 7000s and they were stiff. Changed them because two leaked after a couple of years. Went back with the Rancho RS5000X and a new steering stabilizer RS5000. Super easy. Did it on my back-no lift required. If I remember correctly, the Rancho 5000 was the original shock on that truck. I like the softer ride. Ford wanted $670 or so to replace all 4. $333 off Amazon was the cheapest for the package.

[@roadglide1142]

The OEM shocks suck & were the 1st things I replaced on my 2021 F-350! I went with Rancho XL’s . The difference is night & day !

[@joshuanickerson1108]

I installed fox 2.0 with remote revisor. They’ve been great to date.

[@vais3]

Bilstein 4600s all around is what I had done. Fixed everything I had issues with. OE shocks were smoked early on. Nothing against Fox but I didn’t see the necessity for a progressive shock.

[@Tom67X]

Getting after it this weekend with the 5100's myself, stabilizer too. I'm still bone stock on the 2017 suspension-wise, factory wheels too. The Rancho's are coming off. 114K miles and pulling 11K with the 5th wheel, looking for another long stretch of miles.

[@louie3552]

Rancho 9000s on my ‘17 f350 SD dually. Tow 18k lbs 5th. Being able to adjust the rears when unloaded, and the lifetime warranty was the deciding points.

[@col.johnson9938]

went Blisteins in 2009 on my 2000 F250SD, finally wore out and will go same make again, no complaints

[@ajjohnkay5793]

Aaron you amaze every time. You do more work in 20 mins with one hand and holding a camera then most guys do in eight hours. Another awesome video. Ford should have you do their maintenance videos.

[@Jsc843]

Box 2.0 are definitely the way to go. If you can get the Carli Fox part numbers they are specific Valving for the F2 50s and 350s you can check with suspension connection to find the specific part numbers for the Carly fox shocks

[@johnmackey7721]

I thought OEM for the fx4 package used Rancho branded shocks.

[@spencersmoot]

Super easy to replace superduty shocks. I have done it in a parking lot before. Been through a few different ones. The cheapest ones I tried from Autozone worked well on road and to stiff offroad. But wore out within a couple months. Ranchero 5000 are pretty loose for a heavy duty truck on road. But did well offroad. Should have gotten the 9000 that are adjustable. Right now running stock ones on my truck since it's still under warranty. Interested in trying the Fox 2.0 on my new truck.

[@jamesr2888]

I bought "Motorcraft" front shocks for my '00 Mountaineer; received OESpectrum shocks, not Motorcraft. Also, I bought a shock absorber tool; it made them easy to remove them, Tool is from Lisle, tool number is 20400. $13.00 at O'Reilly's.

[@josephcirelli9642]

This video came in handy especially using the vise grips with the shop cloth on the grips. Since the bed was off it was easy access to a lot of items Replaced my ‘05 F350 SRW 200K miles, OEM shocks (still good enough) with Bilstein 5100 all around. Replaced all the fasteners with OEM as well. I go to my Ford dealership so often for my build this summer, I’m on a first name basis with the guys! Thanks for all the advice and videos!

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

[@joedurso5192]

I just got an old school adjustable wrench and ground it down to fit for holding the shock while tightening/ loosening

[@jasoncox2132]

If you have a B&M gooseneck prep pkg, you’re going to have fun with that passenger rear shock! This was a chore when I replaced my rancho’s with Bilstein 5100’s. 😫👍🏼

[@jefferwin7787]

In frustration I got the grinder out. The hitch was NOT compromised, I assure you that I was madder than a wet rooster though, lemme tell you. Called the Dealer and advised them to let their installer know. Perhaps they'll mod the end of the channel tube on that side and spare the next poor bastard a headache. I wish I knew how to add pictures...

[@jasoncox2132]

Personally I did Bilstins very happy with the results.

[@kckettridge]

I went with the Bilstein 4600's and honestly, I'm not all that pleased with them. I think it really stiffened the ride. In hindsight, I think I should have gone back with the OEM. I also put on a dual steering stabilizer with the Bilstein stabilizers.

[@jlweck231978]

I am planning on changing my shocks in the next day or two. I am thinking about the 5100's. Is your front end lifted or stock height? I didn't lift my front end but want to go with these shocks but they don't show any for the front for stock ride height. They show 2-2.5" lift. I am curious if it's okay to use them on a stock ride height or not.

Is one better suited for off road rough terrain use, and the other for on road use?
