Rear shocks vs front and rear (Summary, do them all!)

[4fxgrabo]

If you go with the Eibach, they include a spanner wrench to adjust the height while the coilovers are on the truck. I adjusted mine down to give an inch of lift.

Do you remember how much lift it gave before adjusting (out of the box)? Also how much did you have to adjust the threaded collar down to get to 1”? Wondering if it would be easier to adjust and try to get close before installing then make final adjustments on the truck? Thanks

I think a little over two inches. Adjusted about 2/3 of the way down.

My 2019 4x2 with stock shocks and tires is a rough rider that I’d love to get a better and smoother ride. I’m not a off road rider, street driving only but do not appreciate how rough it rides. I assume different shocks would help just not sure which ones to consider for street driving.

start with the rears. cheap at 200-300$ for the pair and can be done in your driveway with basic hand tools

Search for the directions for the Ford tuned Fox shocks. They have excellent instructions if you want to do it yourself. My time was limited so I outsourced my installation. It was within my ability though, just didn't want to lose a Saturday.

After my install I am approx 37.5" front, 38" rear. I do expect the fronts may settle a quarter inch or so.

So do you think the Fox rear shocks are worth $160 more than the Bilstien 5100,s
Thank you.

The is a lot of info on varies threads on this forum about the different shock options for our trucks. it comes down to personal preference and what you are looking for. I prefer Fox over Bilstein for my application.

Edited to add that any option you choose will be an improvement.
