no no fight intended. i was just stating that shocks are meant for stability. cause you said bounce test is to test springs. so if there was no shocks on a truck you would be bouncing everywhere lol. shocks stop that movement. lol i come in peace

U got some time in em. Just order em. U thank me. They look shot in the pic

Hey guys! New here, but have a 2012 f150 eco-screw... Has anyone been using the bilstein shocks? And if so has anyone used the bilstein 5100? Are they worth it??

arnt the rancheros any good?

There pretty good. Just depends on what kind of ride u want. Rancheros r great off road. But on road? Just make it ride rough

Bilstein or Rancho, depending on how much off-roading you do.
