Bilstein 5100 Monotube Gas Shock Set Compatible with 2005-2016 Ford F250 / F350 4WD Pickups

Needed new shocks for my 2012 Super Duty and couldnt pass up this great deal, $350 for 4 Bilstein 5100's is a steal. Swapped out all four corners, piece if cake install, didnt need to raise vehicle, just turn wheels all the way lock left or right depending on which side you are doing in the front. The rears take longer to remove from the box than they do from the truck. Ride is more planted , doesn't even compare to the previous shocks, I had one blown shock that was replaced so naturally anything would have been better but I was surprised how much of a difference these shocks make. More so on the rear than the front, back wheels don't go flying when I hit a bump or pothole at speed. Still rides like a truck but didnt expect a miracle, especially on a 13 year old truck.

I bought these for my 2016 Ford F-250 4X4 Lariat Crew Cab. I previously had the Rancho 5000's on it. With a 2.5 inch front and 2" rear lift, these Bilstein's actually lifted my truck more, and softened the ride over the Rancho's. Handling is better and definitely improved sway in corners and overall handling of Truck. Very high quality product!

2014 F-350 Dually. Truck still rides like a truck, but I can tell a difference especially on rough roads with my truck camper loaded. Installation was straight forward with the rears much easier than the fronts. The lower mounting brackets in the front were not wide enough for the shocks so I had to grind a little bit off the shocks for a fit, which was much easier than trying to widen the truck brackets. No big deal and everything is working fine. Time will tell how long these shocks hold up, but they appear to be top quality.

Perfect fit for a 2”-4” lift on a f250 plenty of travel distance, they are stiffer than a Monroe shock (stock shock), so keep that in mind. Rear shocks will have to be mounted upside down (rubber boot at bottom), that’s just how they were design. Good quality and they look good under truck.

Just installed on my 2016 F250 FX4. The oem “Fake Ranchos” were worn out with 54K miles on the truck. The Bilstein 5100’s appear to be of high quality. Installation was pretty easy if you are mechanically inclined. As to all the reviews regarding the shaft turning while tightening the top nut on the front shocks….there is a 6mm hex in the top of the shaft where you can use a 6mm hex socket to hold the shaft while tightening the nut using a ratchet wrench. I was able to compress the shocks by hand to install without the use of a jack or ratchet strap, etc but does require a fair amount of strength. The shocks look great. As far as the ride, it is better. The truck feels firmer and more planted. However, still a bit harsh on rough spots in the road in the rear but the truck quickly recovers now vs bucking all over like it did before with the stock shocks. I did also install the Bilstein steering stabilizer. Overall, NOT the “night and day” difference everyone says, but it is a modest improvement. **Update** - I took the truck off road (desert terrain) and these shocks performed great, even better off road than on pavement!

Installed on my 2015 f350 big improvement on the ride quality

We ordered these for my husband's 2005 Ford F350 2wd. The back shocks fit great however, the front did not. After reaching out to the seller's customer service, I realized I had unfortunately failed to see that these were for a 4wd. Their customer service was AWESOME and allowed me to return the front shocks for a refund even though they were purchased as a set of 4. My husband has been driving for a week since installing the rear and he says he can tell a huge difference and loves the new shocks. Says the ride is much smoother and only wishes he could get the same shock for a 2wd but Bilstein doesn't make the 5100 for a 2wd. I would highly recommend purchasing these shocks from this seller!

Fit and finish were a perfect fit and nice upgrade on my 2007 F350 SRW 6.0L turbo diesel. The OEM shocks on my FX4 equipped 2007 Ford were toast at 190,000 miles and required replacement. After a bit of research on my options and also asking my mechanic what they'd install if they were in my position, Bilstein 5100's were the clear choice. Installation was fairly easy and I was able to complete it in the driveway with no special equipment or tools. Just a few basic wrenches to get the job done in short time and strong hand soap once it was all done. Ride quality is greatly improved and I'm no longer feeling like a bobble-head doll while I drive my truck down the road. I highly recommend Bilstein 5100's for your truck! Worth the price and ride quality is excellent.
