Softer Suspension

[Spiritrider1]

Just wanted to follow-up with everyone. I installed new bilstein shocks today rear only as the fronts are not available anywhere. With just the rears replaced, the pogo stick effect has been reduced 85%. Truck feels like a completely different vehicle, much more pleasant to drive. I intend to change out the fronts as soon as I can locate a pair. Thanks to all for the great advice.

Try shockwarehouse.com they've always been the best place for me.

Get the part number directly from Bilstein, then search there or rockauto.

I was debating on just doing the rear for now. I think you sold me on doing that. Eventually, I want to level it a bit with the front bilsteins but... looks like Ill be ordering some rears next payday.

Seems you think it's a big an improvement as I did. FYI I did the the Bilstein front's set at 1.8" increase an I like the look but didn't find an improvement in the ride quality or much of one. I was wondering if it's because the spring is preloaded with 1.7" of lift but others say it's a linear spring an it only reduces the available travel. If I make another change to the suspension it's going to be different rear springs. I wish I ordered the wildtrak springs before they shut down the cheap shipping on them but that ship has sailed.

I changed to fox 2.0 rears and it still bucks a little. Airing down to 33psi helped a lot along with a full size spare in the bed

I have fox 2.0 as well, being the Roush upgrade. I am honest here … the ride is hilly and bumpy AF ????

I had the Fox 2.0 installed on the rear and definitely improved the jumpy backend. Going to try 32 psi too.
One of the FX4 shocks was already leaking when removed, at 5,500 miles!

I have the Fox with the psi set at 32. Makes a huge difference.

Stage3 has Fox in stock right now. Just ordered a set.
