Looking for some replacement strut help. I have a 2019 XLT 4x2 with a level lift and the struts are starting to seep a little. Any recommendations on a good replacement or upgrade? Tire shop wants $2000 to replace and install Bilstein B2's.

Thanks in advance.

Take the opportunity to move up to a coilover type level. Install will likely be cheaper than just struts if you're paying a shop to do it and you'll get matching rears.

Fox, Icon, Eibach, Bilstein, choose your flavor.

Agree. But Bilstein 5100s are also a great choice as well.

Adding to what was said above:
Eibachs are a good budget choice. You won't feel like you cheaped out on anything and they're adjustable height which should help your 4x2 come out the way you want it to.

Thanks for the replies. If I wanted to keep it similar to how it is now, would the Bilstein 5100's be a better choice over the 4600's since the current lift is only a spacer lift? Not trying to go on the cheap, but do like the current ride that it has.
