2015-2020 F150 4WD Bilstein 5100 Adjustable Leveling Shock Kit 15F1504WD

Put these on all 4 corners on a 2018 Ford F150 Platinum FX4. Set the front to 2.1. Preinstall I was 37.25 from the ground to the center of the fender. After installation I was at 39.25. I netted exactly 2. Be advised: The 2.7LEB is a lighter engine so you might get more than 2 from these. I believe the 5.0L is heavier so you might get less. Install time was about 4 hours with the fronts taking up about 3.5 hours of that 4. Rears are easy. Alignment afterwards is about $100. Ride is great. Definite noticeable difference out of the rear shocks. Ride is more planted and less jumpy. Front doesn't feel stiff or clunky like some 2.5 spacers. Overall rake is 1 (higher in rear) but given the angle it looks level and nowhere close to nose high. For the price, I can't recommend these enough. Stage 3 had super fast shipping like always and were a pleasure to deal with.

Researched and decided on the Bilstein 5100's to try and get some of the factory rake out of my truck. I've had the truck for a year / 18,000 miles before installing the 5100's. Chose the 5100's because they offer different height settings. I didn't want my truck completely level. Decided to use the + 1.75 setting. Took measurements at the top of both wheel wells before / after for reference. Before: Front 37-1/8 Rear 39-1/2 produces rake of 2-3/8 After: Front 38-5/8 Rear 39 1/2 produces rake of 7/8 It appears the + 1.75 setting on the shock produced + 1.5 of lift on my 2016 F150 with the 5.0L I've driven around 500 miles since the install. No issues with settling. Truck ride is a little firmer than stock without a load - rides really smooth with a few hundred pounds in the bed. I expect the ride to smooth out with a few more miles. Very happy with the look and ride. Worth waiting for the 5100's to fit my truck.

If you're on the fence, don't be. Get them. If you're shopping for the ideal solution for lifting the front of your 2015-18 F150 4wd for a reasonable size tire, this is a good route to consider. I installed them at the 2.1 lifted level in front and was able to clear a 275/65-20 tire mounted on a 20x9 et25 wheel with zero issues. The shocks really improve the ride as well. I installed the rears myself and found that to impart a noticeable improvement in overall ride quality; after installing the fronts (professional installation recommended), the overall improvement in ride and performance was simply amazing. For the cost of the shocks and the installation for the fronts, I do not think you can beat it; certainly not with a leveling lift puck system, which can seriously degrade the ride and cause premature wear on suspension components, which I wanted to avoid. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would...

Paid a local shop 3 hours labor for install on my 2018 F150 4x4 Platinum 5.0. Stage 3 shipping was prompt. Have installed these 5100's on my last three trucks and been pleased with the handling improvement. I had them set in the middle setting for 1.25 of front lift.

I was kinda hesitate at first, but wanted to level out my truck without the 2 inch spacers, I began to research online and came across Bilstein 5100, so I purchased them (all four) and had them professionally installed. I had them set on 1.75 and OMG my truck looks great. Its flat, its level, its balanced... The measurments are a little under 39 inches in the front and a little over 39 in the rear, (maybe 1/2 inch difference). My wife had been beating me up about how ruff the truck rides, I took her out today and she immediately noticed the difference in the ride... Huge Step-up from the O.E.M. shocks.

Love the 5100’s! Had them installed and set to 2.1 lift and gained exactly 2” of front lift. The ride is great, a slight bit firmer than stock but way more controlled and comfy. Added a 1” block to the rear for a lil rake back in for towing. Rounded it out with some 285/65r20 KO2’s on my stock wheels, gave the truck the bigger more aggressive stance. I would definitely recommend!

These shocks are awesome. Definitely firmed up the ride quite a bit vs stock, which I think makes the truck much better to drive because it isn't as floaty. I put them on the highest setting and got about 2 of lift in the front after it settled for about 3 weeks. There is still some rake and I think overall it looks really good with 33 BFG AT KO2s. Install was pretty involved but not terribly difficult. You do need a really good spring compressor. It took me about 5 hours for the first front side and 2 for the second. 20 minutes for the rear. CJ Off road has a good install video for Eibach springs which is basically the same thing. That's what I used to guide me.

Replaced OEM shocks and a 2 spacer leveling kit. Had professionally installed, as pretty involved on this vehicle. Ride quality/control much improved, perfectly leveled the suspension. Fast shipping, great price from Stage 3 Motorsports

Looks perfect at 1.75 setting (still a slight rake), ride is firm but excellent (the way it should have been). put on 1 size larger tires and it looks great

I did the install and with a brother helping we were done in 5 hours. In retrospect, we could have shaved that down to 3.5 but we were in no hurry. The rear remained the same heiht, the front went up almost 3 , they are now even. One thing not covered much is the axle nut, other than on and off to swing the assembly out of the way. Once done, you will need to put it in full 4x4 mode, move the vehicle forward slowly and listen for the hubs to lock in. After that, they are engaged and won't need that again. Also when you get it all done and before removing it from the jacks, you can test the hubs. The procedure for that is: turn the wheel and note that the front axle turns. Start the truck in Park, brake on, again turn the wheel and it should spin free, no axle engaged. In other words, the hubs are engaged unless the engine is running and then the vacuum disengages them. Mike was great in getting the kit shipped to Alaska, really appreciated his help! Shipping was fast.

After researching leveling options, I decided on these Bilstein 5100s. I installed them myself set for the highest lift of 2.1. I used a loaner strut spring compressor from the local auto parts store. The install was straight forward and no surprises. The video is very helpful. It took me about 3 hours to do the fronts and maybe 45 minutes for the rear. An impact wrench is a big help but not necessary. After installation, I took the truck to have the alignment checked and it only needed a toe adjustment. The caster and camber were good. I installed new take-off wheels and tires from a 2018 Raptor. 315/70r17. They fit beautifully. I have not been able to make them rub and believe me, I've tried. The ride is firmer but not harsh. Truck feels more planted and has a little less body roll in the turns. I thought the headlights were perfect after the strut change while it was still on the stock wheels and tires but after putting on the bigger tires, I lowered the headlights because they were too high for oncoming traffic. Stage 3 was great to do business with. The shipping was fast and there was a slight problem with my order as I only received 1 rear shock. I contacted Stage 3 and they over nighted the shock to me. I would definitely buy from them again.

Set the fronts at 1.75 and the rake is perfect on my truck. After install the ride is much better and doesn't have all that bouncey crap that it did with the OEM shocks. Love em, love em, love em! Best mod money can buy.

Decided to go with the Billstein adjustable leveling shocks to level out my 2015 2.7L F150 XLT because I was getting sick of the factory rake. The truck has 51,000 miles on it, I bought it new and have done nothing to it but add a K&N Air filter to it, tonno cover, and had LineX sprayed in the bed. I put the rear shocks on myself in my garage and took it to a Ford dealership close by and they did the fronts plus an alignment. The bill from Ford was about $440 for labor and alignment. They quoted me $435, so I was happy with that and the fact that they didn't have any problems. I got a chance to talk with the mechanic. He did say that was the first time he had ever installed that kit. He also said he didn't have any problems with the alignment afterwards. I had them installed at the 1.75 mark. I didn't go the full 2 because I still wanted a slight rake so I can still fill the bed and not have it look back heavy. The before and after pictures are on a slightly declined driveway, but you can definitely tell a difference and the truck looks level. The truck rides great as well. I had no issues with the factory suspension, but I do feel a bit more stable since adding the Billsteins. I have had them on my truck for about a month now. I have noticed about a mile loss on mpg's. I was expecting that, so no big deal. I'm happy I went this route to level my truck, rather than a spacer. Now I'm going to put 33 tires on the factory 18 wheels. Measurements Driver side went up from 36.75 to 38.5 , which is exactly 1.75 Pretty much identical on passenger side Truck still has a 3/4 rake

Driveway install took about 4 hours working alone (first side takes most of the time as everyone says). I didn't want to loosen the LCA bolts in an attempt to keep the alignment close, so I cut the factory lower shock mount bolts to get them out. As it turned out they had to shift the LCA during the alignment anyway so no reason to try an preserve the factory location. Basic Harbor Fright strut spring compressor worked, but just barely and the screws were bending a fair bit to compress these springs enough. Used the 4th position (~1.75 lift) and I still have just a little rake which I think looks good and hopefully doesn't stress the upper ball joint too much. Just enough clearance for 33x12.50 tires with 5.5 backspace wheels. The ride with the Bilstein 5100s is just as everyone else describes - firm but not too much and stops the sloppy behavior of the stock suspension with heavier aftermarket wheels and tires. Highly recommended.

Love the new shocks, can feel the difference driving, ( lot of potholes here) I am on the 3rd perch which is a little over an inch of lift. That combined with the rear block i removed from the rear has the truck almost level now. The install time is about an 3 hours total. Use a good spring compressor, I used a wall mounted spring compressor at an auto garage, it was safe, quick, and easy.

Easy install as any shock/strut. 100% better ride over stock!

Rear shocks took approximately 30 minutes. Front removal of strut assemblies took approximately 1 hour for each side. I had a shop compress the springs and install the shock. 2 inches of lift in the front. I regained my rake by installing 3 readylift blocks in the rear. The ride is prrfect.

Installed on the highest setting, just a slight rake left. Look and ride way improved! All of the factory float is gone and the truck feels firmly planted. Very glad I did this mod. Great price and fast shipping from Stage 3. No regrets here, get a set today!

I installed the rear shocks in my garage, but I had the fronts installed by a local garage. I didn't want to deal with compressing the springs, and I knew I would need an alignment regardless. I spent a few hundred bucks for the install and alignment, but it was worth it to save hours of my time and not risk screwing something up (of course, that's my opinion). Overall, I'm very happy with these shocks. I went with the second highest setting, as I didn't want to be nose high (or close to nose high). The 1.75 setting looks perfect to me, and only has the slightest of rake that I'm sure only I can really see. The ride feels more planted and not as jumpy, but I will say I noticed a bigger difference in the ride quality with the rears than the front. Overall, I'm really happy with how it turned out, and I feel like this is the best way to level a truck. Highly recommend. See my before and after attached.

Self installed this and it took a little bit to figure it out but overall quality is much better than leveling pucks.This kit stiffened out the bounce in the back end and rides great. Make sure you have it done professionally or have the correct tools. This is a 4-6 hour job if your doing it in your garage. Heavy duty spring compressor is needed. Good luck but overall a great buy for leveling.

Great purchase from Stage 3. Best price, fast shipping, usefull online install videos too! These Bilsteins are a nice upgrade to the stock FX4 package shocks. Still a comfortable ride, but more controlled, and the front height adjustment is awesome. Rears were super easy, the first front shock was 2 hrs, the 2nd front shock 1 hr. Really not too bad of an install.

Great shocks highly satisfied

It does what you want it to, levels the truck. It took about 3 inches of rake out of my 2015 F-150 when set to the highest level. I installed all four, a huge upgrade on the rear shocks, the front are definitely stiff set to the top level, but i don't mind it. Had these installed on my 2010 as well, set one notch down from the top. If you're after a better ride quality, don't go all the way up to the top notch, instead go one notch down. All in all, i'm perfectly happy with it, i knew what i was getting going in and will continue to put this set on all my vehicles.

Installed the Bilstein 5100's set at 1.25 I would have liked to set them higher but I pull a trailer with a Polaris Ranger loaded on it and the truck sits almost level with that setup when loaded. This setting takes about half the rake out of the truck and looks great with the OEM 2017 Raptor take off wheels with Falken Wildpeak AT3W 285/70-17 I installed with the kit. The install is straight forward, no magic here it's just work but as you've read in other reviews you will need a very good coil spring compressor, don't go cheap and injure yourself or worse. I'm also extremely happy with how the truck rides and drives, it's actually an improvement over stock in my opinion. Great product, much better solution than the hockey pucks everyone's using on their trucks. Stage 3 has the best price and service I know of, get you some!!!

After doing a ton of research between spacer pucks and an actual leveling kit. I’m so glad I ending up spending the money for this shock kit. The ride is definitely better than stock and more planted to the road no more body roll in turns. Took me a lil longer than most for the install but i was able to do it myself in about 5-6 hours following the video step by step off this site. I did not take measurements before but ended up a hair higher in the front at the highest setting but is very hard to notice and looks level to the eye. Very good purchase and would definitely recommend anyone to stick it out and buy it! Followed it up with some Cooper Discoverers at3 Xlt lt275 70r18

Shocks went on the rear very easily and quickly. Improved ride quality over factory. Used the front struts with eibach pro lift springs. Also used 2 inch blocks in the rear.

I had these installed on my 2017 F150 Platinum to minimize the rake without compromising the ride quality. These did the trick! 1.75' in the front looks perfect, it still has a little bit of rake but there is a noticeable improvement in ride quality and it looks much better. I've received a lot of compliments on how much better it looks.. I would highly recommend these if you are looking to level your truck while maintaining good ride quality.

I was thinking of paying a shop to install these but decided to tackle them on a Sunday with a family member who owns a body shop. Even with professional tools and his vast knowledge it was still a lengthy and challenging project. Took us about 4 hours to do the fronts and rears. Glad we did it, makes it more meaningful than just writing a check. However, I wouldn't recommend trying to install the fronts unless you have skills and access to the right gear, in particular spring compressors and a heavy duty impact gun to drive them. As for the Bilstein 5100s, I agree with another review that said the ride is firmer than stock but more controlled when you hit bumps so it feels much better overall. I'm going to give the product 4 stars for excellent quality and the improvement in ride quality. I would have gone 5 stars but there's not THAT big of a difference from stock. Overall I recommend the product, well worth the money and effort, or just the money if you don't get your hands dirty.

Looks almost like it's lifted when you get the right wheels and tires. Rides great, much less bounce. My baby's car seat toy attachment would rattle constantly on the highway, but it doesn't make a sound now. They say it will fit only up to 33s, but I have seen a guy on YouTube (Wicked F150) say he put on 34s without trimming or rubbing.

2016 F-150 4WD 2.7L ECO, Installed the kit myself in about 5hrs. Would recommend a good spring compressor tool. I rented 2 different ones, ended up needing more than the basic threaded rod type. Also I would advise anyone with a 2.7L that this 5100 kit is rated at the weight of the 5.0L v8. Meaning, the 2.7L is a couple hundred pounds lighter. I set the snap ring on the front shocks at 1.75" (2nd to highest) and I measured 2.5" of lift after the install. Over the last 3 weeks the shocks have softened a bit. But stock the truck measured 36.5" at the fender and i am still at 40" on the front with the 33.8" tires. 40" in Front, 40.25" in the back.

Rears 15 min, front 3hr + 2hr. The video leaves out import information as to how the axle is reinserted into the hub. You must either pull a vacuum on the auto lock hub or rotate the rotor or risk damaging the mechanism when the axle is tightened - $100 dorman part or $175 dealer.

I installed all 4 myself. Get a good spring compressor (I used HF clam shell style) and an impact wrench with metric sockets. 5 hour job including set up and clean up. Set my fronts to 1.2 inches, love the look and the ride.

I was hesitant to buy these, but the price made me think maybe I should give Bilstein another look. Whenever I compare reviews, I've noticed that the cheaper items get rave reviews, and the deciding factor is usually the price. I'll gladly pay for quality. Somehow, in this case, I got a quality item, at a good price. I've had the Fox 2.0s, the procomps, the Ranchos, and others. I rate these right up there with the Fox shocks. I had around 500 miles on my '17 150 when I installed these, and very happily surprised with the difference. I initially was only interested in the variable height thing with the front, I used the 3/4 setting, to level my lowered 150. For once, the huddled masses were right, these are a top shelf item, very surprising at the low cost. Since my vehicle was new, everything well with installation. Of course the fronts took longer since it requires you pull steering gear apart, and you need a spring compressor. Really though, if you know anything about these trucks, you'll know all that going into it.

Like many others have said, super happy with this kit. Set at 2.10 and truck sits pretty much level (maybe a slight rake, but barely noticeable). Have about 1,000 miles since install and the ride is a little stiffer and much better than stock. Combined the kit with 275/70R18 Falken Wildpeak At3 tires and the truck looks exactly like I had hoped! I also added the 6,000lb Timbren Rear Suspension kit for when I tow my work trailer (20'x8' enclosed) and travel trailer (~5,500 lbs) to keep the nose from going too high and they have worked like a charm, too. No upsetting passing cars or drivers in front of me because my lights are aimed too high while towing. Love my truck even more now!

I looked for a long time before deciding on these and after reading a review previously posted by another platinum user, I went with this kit. I couldn't be more happier with the ride and stability it provides compared to the stock shocks and struts. I adjusted mine to the full 2.1" and it leveled out the truck. I installed the rear shocks myself within 30 minutes, but had the forward struts professionally installed. Overall, it improved the stance of the truck.

Everything I wanted and then some. The ride improved noticeably and the front level made the wife go "Wow...that is bad ass." Only complaint, the rear shocks droop under load...so airbags are next. Cant be happier though.

Should've bought a long time ago. Ride quality is amazing. I put it at the 1.25 setting and took out the rear blocks and loving the ride height. Planning on getting slightly bigger tires to help fill in some more space.

I'm really happy with the 5100 level kit on my F150. I was concerned about it creating a too rough of a ride for normal street use but the all around ride is great. Firmer in a good way. The truck is much more planted and stable in all conditions with less body roll. The truck sits great with plenty room to fit 305/65/18 BFGs on 18 offset 9 wheels. Stage 3 has best prices I found and super speedy shipping. I'll be a return customer.

Absolutely amazing ride. I set the front at the second to highest setting. I am running 295/70 r18 ridge grapplers with absolutely no run lock to lock or over bumps. I never understood the the review when people said the ride would be more “planted” but that is the best way to describe this set up. Absolutely amazing ride! Pro tip.... don’t cut the straps on the shocks until you bolt them in. The shocks lined up perfect to the bolts with straps in place. Front took two people who knew what they were doing about 45 minutes to install

I purchased these shocks after my rear end stepped out doing 75 on the interstate after hitting a large uneven surface where they were doing construction. Scared the crap out of me. I also noticed that the truck would squat like crazy with a load on it. After reading lots of reviews I decided to buy the shocks which were on sale for Christmas. The truck definitely has more of a truck feel to it now. You can feel almost any road imperfection unless it paved perfectly smooth, but what you gain in road feel, confidence, direct steering, no sway, and having that "planted" feeling it's well worth it. If you want a Caddy ride buy a Caddy! It is by no means an uncomfortable ride, it just feels more "trucky" This weekend I pulled a 4,000 lb 20' boat from Tampa to Daytona Beach at interstate speeds and had absolutely no issues. The truck actually road a little nicer with a load on it. I put the struts on the highest level and it leveled the truck. I plan on fitting bigger tires down the road so it worked out well. From some angles it actually looks a little higher in the front. I have the 5.0 Coyote in mine. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. Stage 3 was awesome I got them very fast and the sale price was great too! Thanks Stage 3!

These are one of the better upgrades if you care how your truck handles. I installed the rears about two weeks before installing the fronts. With just the rears, I could tell the damping is much better and significantly reduces the "kick-out" when hitting bumps in a corner. The fronts were set at the mid-point and raised the height measured at the fender from 36 7/8" to 38 1/4". More important to me (since I'm using stock tires) is the increase at the air dam of almost 2 inches giving me a little more confidence when exploring the desert southwest. On the road wallowing is greatly reduced by installing the fronts. Installation: Rears were easy - didn't even jack the truck / remove the tires. The fronts were more of a pain than I anticipated, partly due to not having every tool that would have made it easier (18mm deep socket for one). I did use four spring compressors and a puller loaned from the local parts store. Other notes: Stage 3 had the best price I could find. The boxes of the front shocks were torn up pretty bad. Bilstein could pack the shocks better with a little styro, etc. The silver body of the rear shocks looks a little out of place.

Installed this kit last night in under two hours. Granted, a hoist and large spring compressor helped a lot, but it went very well. Put it at the max lift so it sits level and it looks great. Will update if anything changes or seems negatively affected.

Great service and great product all around. My truck rides very smooth. I fly over speed bumps without stopping like I used to. Great product and great company to work with. Now I need a Tuner and intake. Any reccomendations?

Truck looks and drives amazing! It handles the roads much better with out body roll in and out of turns. Feels like a race car but still has a comfortable ride.

Very nice product truck rides great was able to fit 33 by 12.5 tires with very little rubbing. The ride quality is much more firm and not floaty. I attempted to try and install myself. Not a good idea unless you have impact tools and a heavy duty spring compressor. I ended up having them professionally installed. Make sure you get a front-end wheel alignment after.

Love the look and the ride. Took my local offroad shop about 2 hours to install the fronts. I installed the rears in about 20 minutes in my driveway. I set them to the 2.1 setting and it looks great. Still a slight rake but as close to level as I want. Was unsure about tire fitment but I put 285/60/20 (33.5 x 11.5) Goodyear Duratracs on the OEM 20's and they fit great with no rubbing or anything. Stage 3 is awesome. Great customer service, prices, and quick shipping.

Easy install and a solid predictable ride. Leveled out the truck and the zinc looks better than the stock plastic.

Love the ride height and the ride feel. Did a lot of research and decide on bilstein. My old truck I did the puck and after install these I will never use the puck style again.

Shocks we're as advertised. Install went well. Set the shocks at the highest setting and the ride is great. Great addition to my new wheels and tires

Best price anywhere, crazy fast shipping for free! They feel pretty close to stock to me just better, ride great not stiff. Set them on the highest setting and looks level but I will add a little block on the back so it doesn't go nose high when I tow.

Excellent customer service and product. Improves ride over stock, gets rid of the rear end hop it would have on uneven roads with no weight in the bed. Smooth ride. On pic attached is the Bilsteins in front set at 1.75” and I added the 3” block kit stage3 also sells to keep the factory rake and raise the entire truck.

First off, best deal you can find for the set of Bilstein 5100 Adjustable Leveling Shock Kit. I had them professionally instated on my 2018 Ford F150 King Ranch at the max ride height setting. You can instantly feel the difference with the reduced body roll when turning. The ride quality firms up but not by much. I would definitely recommend these shocks.

I put these on my 17', now I have them on my 19'. Without a doubt, the ride is better. No more squishy feeling from the stock shocks. Truck feels more planted. Huge difference when pulling my boat, no more body roll. I put them at the 1.75" mark. It leaves a little rake which I like. I went with the Nitto Ridge Grappler 275-60R20 in the P Rated tire.

This is a nice kit. I wanted to level out the truck but I didn’t want it to be nose high at all. In addition to ordering the bilsteins, I also added some 2.5” halo lift blocks to retain some rake. I pull a boat in the summer and hate when I see the trucks look nose high. I set the front shocks to max lift setting. Used a basic harbor freight string compressor for the fronts. With having a hoist the job took about 4-5 hours. Like others have said. Fronts take the majority of the time. I am very happy with the look. The ride is great. Paid 100 for an alignment after and the truck rides nice and smooth.

Highly recommend. Bought to level my 2019 SuperCrew F150. Was on the fence between spacers and these Bilsteins. Glad I spent the extra couple hundred and got these. At the highest setting they level the truck almost level, still a minor rake, but not noticeable. Ride is definitely stiffer than stock, but I like it that way. Doesn't feel as mushy as the stock struts did. Definitely worth the price and Stage 3 was great to work with.

I recently bought a 2016 F-150XLT Supercrew 4x4 and wanted it to LOOK like a 4x4 and these seemed to be what the doctor ordered! Like you, I read a bunch of reviews while I had these in my cart, once I was convinced, I checked out and had them about 5 days later. I had my local mechanics put these on for me, only to realize that the factory tires looked goody with this kit installed. I didn't raise the front all the way, I went with the 1.75 setting and could've possibly even went lower honestly. It looked like a Trophy (racing) truck when I picked it up, lol. The shocks did settle a bit after I drove it home though. As soon as I got home, I told my wife it needed new tires (33s) to fill in the gap of the wheel well a little better. She agreed so I called my mechanic buddies and ordered some Duratracs for it and NOW.....it looks MEAN. I love the stance of it. It looks beefy but not like a truck with a 6 inch lift on 36s, it's just what I was looking for. Oh, and the ride is much tighter, I like it. I think it'll be better for towing as well.

Absolutely love the Bilstein 5100 leveling kit. My truck looks rides and handles a lot better. I highly recommend this kit.

Install on 2016 F150 went great. I set the adjustment at 1.79 the front is a 1/4 lower than rear looks level. Heavy spring compressor is a must. Really improve handling of truck.

DONT DO IT. I put them on my 2015 f150 which only had 31k miles when I installed them now I’m at 40k and have had nothing but problems. Had them installed professionally. Both front wheels hubs went bad both 4x4 actuators went bad no the driver side actuator went bad again and it’s due to this leveling kit according to my ford dealers. Notice I said dealers I went to more than 1 because I didt believe the first one. My truck is at a dealer now getting another 1500 in work done taking this junk off. Looks great but not worth it in the long run puts to much stress in the front end components. Stay away

Looks awesome! I had an automotive shop put on the fronts for me, I did the rear easily. Rides as smooth as stock. Truck looks awesome now! In this pic, the tires are stock size (275/55R20) and it looks good. Will be upgrading to 33's or equivalent metric tires now that i'm leveled and aligned! Stage 3 motorsports was very fast shipping and fair price. Will shop from them again for sure.

Love this kit! Got it installed in half a day and love the way it looks. Can definitely notice the difference in ride and driver position.

Quick shipping, great price, and easy install. Thanks to all the reviews here and the video was on point! The ride is amazing! About 30 minutes to install the tears and 4 hrs for the fronts. I went with 1.75” and can’t wait to get some new tires. I went back and forth and ultimately decided on these since 90% of my miles are highway. At this price just buy them.

I have hated the stock suspension since I bought the truck. As other have stated these improve the ride tremendously! No more hopping around from the back end. The ride is so much more planted and stable. I added 3"' Ridge Grapplers and the front struts are set at 1.75. Still have ~1" of rake which is what I wanted because I tow a boat often. Best upgrade you can buy for the F150 hands down!!

Even better than I expected. Set at 1.75 in front the ride is firm and eliminates the squishiness of the stock ride. Ride is by no means harsh and looks better than expected, can’t wait to put on wheels and bigger tires.

The installation was professionally done. It was set to 1.75. Perfect stance and ride. I recommend this product!

Definitely a quality product. Installation is straight forward with a video from YouTube. I decided on the 1.75" setting. Since I tow, I wanted it to sit level with a trailer and not squat. Ride is firm, you can feel the road and the bed doesn't jump around anymore. I would recommend this kit to anyone, especially those who tow.

Very good shocks, did not notice as big of improvement as everybody claimed. Did the .79" lift setting. Check box contents before starting, I was messing the top nut, spent an hour trying to find a suitable sub.

Removal of factory struts was a pain. Install was fairly easy. Set at the highest setting. Truck came out level. Truck is stiffer, but handles better. Running 275/70/18s with no rub. In all, the 5100s took 4 hours to install.

After hours of research I am very satisfied that I decided to purchase these and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to level their truck. I installed mine at the highest 2.1" setting and although it isn't perfectly level it looks damn good to me. And the ride is just phenomenal. For the install, I would definitely recommend having the fronts done professionally. But for a penny pincher like myself, if you watch enough videos, check out some forum posts, and have a little patience, they can definitely get it done in their driveway/garage (with the right tools). The rears are a 30 minute job that anyone can do without having to jack the truck up or remove the tires. Stage3Motorsports has some of the best prices on these kits, but if you do come across them somewhere else for cheaper, their price match tool is extremely easy to use. Buy them! You won't regret it!

Perfect fitment with a glass smooth ride and excellent ride height leveling. A bit time consuming even for experienced mechanics but nothing a well versed diy at home wrench turner couldn't handle. Install video perfectly explains procedure with great visual representation and easy to follow instructions. Recommended best bang for your buck - don't waste time with puck leveling kits, just pull the trigger and buy these.

Unbelievable ride!! They took my soft, floating feeling to a planted to the road without being harsh performance ride. Couldn’t beat the price with free shipping either. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to improve ride quality without breaking the bank.

Shocks are great and truck rides well. I ran the front at 1.75” and added 2” Halo replacement blocks in the rear.

All the reviews are spot on: Firmer but more stable ride; set at max it levels the truck, etc.. I'm very happy with them.

You wont be disappointed with these. Yes a bit expensive and yes worth every dollar over stock.

Great product! Rides similar to stock but little more solid!

Perfect fit. Shocks ride great. They were installed in conjunction with a rear sway bar to give me a comfortable ride but at the same time stiffen up the rear end.

Very happy with this setup. Completely eliminated the wheel hop out of the rear end. Leveled the truck to a great stance. Ride is a bit stiffer than before but that is expected. This full set up is definitely worth the price.

I have driven approximately 2800 miles on these shocks since install so that’s where I’m coming from in this review. The ride of the truck is not a ton better than stock, but there is a noticeable improvement in how my truck handles transitions in the road and off in the dirt. The shocks (especially in the rear) soak up big impacts/shocks much better than factory and all but eliminates the wheel hop/rear end dance that these trucks are notorious for from factory. No complaints there?? After first installing them and having my buddy at the alignment shop hook me up (I installed Icon Deltajoint uppers as well), the nose of the truck definitely sat higher than the rear but now that I have done some driving it has settled with the front end just slightly lower than the rear, giving the truck a touch of rake, but much better than stock. I installed the snap ring at the highest ride height setting available. No complaints there either?? If you know someone with a shop grade spring compressor, it makes changing the front struts over much easier and less dangerous. I didn’t have a hard time reinstalling the front struts after putting the old spring on the new bilstein shocks. It’s much easier to do with the CV axle out of the front Hub, both sides of the sway bar disconnected, upper ball joint and tie rod disconnected. If it gets tight going in or out, it doesn’t hurt to have a buddy around to stand/push down on the lower control arm. Honestly for me though, the hardest part was moving the spring/Top hat to the new shock. I was able to fit a set of Toyo AT 2 Extremes in 285/75/17 on raptor take off wheels with 0 cutting or trimming. My wheels are not a very aggressive offset though and I imagine if you went any more aggressive on the offset, it would probably rub. Very pleased for the price, it gives my truck the perfect (in my eyes) leveled stance. They definitely don’t perform as good in the dirt as the kings on my sand rail or anything, but they also cost much much less. These were perfect for what I needed!

Looks great, rides great!

Love these. Installed these at max settings with a 3" block in the rear. Gives me the slight rake. Running raptor take offs with factory 315s. No rub.

Love em. Made a huge difference in the ride of my truck. Stock shocks with rated E tires don't go together to well. Installed these and now my truck rides like it should

While towing my overly soft stock suspension began porpoising with the trailer over bumps and lower speeds. After alot of research i landed on these, which are the brand we use in our AEV lift kit in the jeep. installation isn't too bad, but you probabl;y want a shop to do the front unless you are somewhat experienced and have a heavy duty shock compressor. After install, no more bouncing around but the ride is stiffer so you will feel the road more like in a truck. i've read reviews saying these shocks in an fx4 package are pretty close to a raptop when prerunning. maybe i'll get some bigger tires and try that later. Parts came quickly at stage3 had a really good price for the package. I've gotten mustang parts from them before so i know they are reliable as a seller. overall these made a big difference in removing the bouncing

As others have said, great improvement in ride and rake. Set my fronts to 2.10 and this gets the truck just about leveled. The rear no long jumps around when hitting bumps in turns. Decided to add 33’s shortly after installing and they fit perfect. Highly recommend! Install was straight forward, a little more work for the 4WD but not rocket science.

Installed a few weeks ago and noticed a more confident ride as well as handling. Feel like it was a good upgrade from stock but hoping they last 60k or more like my Rancho RS9000 set did on my last truck.

Great fit and finish. 2018 F150 CC LB. I put them on the highest setting of 2.1 inches and it raised it just over 3 inches. It's almost perfectly level. Just ended up higher than I expected.

I chose these over a strut spacer because I wanted an upgrade over the stock components, and it was totally worth it! Truck drives great and looks way better. I think the truck should have come like this from factory.

Great product @ a great price. Went up 1.25" in front. Third setting. Had to bring strut to the dealer to compress the springs. Not the easiest job, but got it done.?? 2 before and 2 after pics

The shipping from Stage 3 was actually faster than what they had said in the tracking, which was perfect. These shocks truly do ride great. I swapped out factory shocks that had 93k miles on them that would "walk" when hitting larger bumps in the rear. Swapped those out to another set of factory shocks and the ride was rough enough that I would call it harsh. Finally decided to buy the 5100 set and have zero regrets. The ride is planted and solid but yet cushioned. Absolutely great shocks. I went with the front set at 1.75 and added the 3" block in the rear to keep the rake. Absolutely love it and should be perfect for pulling my flatbed and RV. Tires are 275/60R20. I do go off road in the western U.S a few times and year and knew I didn't want just a spacer...these were the perfect fit for being quiet, my upper a-arms do not hit the springs when I tested the flex, and it seems they should last.

I’ve had these bad boys on for a month now. What a night and day difference. The truck looks and feels great; no more body roll feel at the backend when I take long curved roads. The stance is amazing, the two inch lift really compliments the FX4.

Ordered these from Stage 3 and received it when they said it would arrive and installed them without any issues.

Awesome combo for shocks and struts. Rear install in 5 minutes per side. Really makes the rear end feel like it should. Planted to the road with no rear end hop like factory. Front are not exactly easy to install but did mine in about 4 hours. A BIG pry bar makes it easier. Do NOT loosen axle nut like in the video. It is not needed and if that CV's come apart your in for a headache. Set my front at 1.75" and got exactly that in lift. Rear end is now exactly 1 inch higher than front. 100% recommended even if you do not want front end lift.

Best upgrade I have ever done. No more rear end hop or body roll. Stiffens up the ride in a good way and have alot more control getting in and out of traffic. Set mine a 1.75 and still have a slight rake that I wanted. Before and after.

I purchased the Bilstein 5100 kit and replaced the factory shocks at 22, 700, just couldn't take the ride anymore. I'm so pleased with the ride improvement, these shocks bring out what the truck is capable of and makes driving a real pleasure now imo.

Great product, looks amazing, easy install by myself. Set to highest setting and it almost perfectly leveled my truck. I have 1” of rake from rear to front now

Excellent product!!! Set to 2.10" and they perfectly leveled my truck. Great ride and was an upgrade from my original shocks. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a simple upgrade that also levels your truck.

These shocks are killer! Positioned them for the 2 1/2 inch lift to level it out, the ride is really nice. It firmed up a little bit, less body roll but definitely not rough by any means. 10/10 recommend.

I bought my truck new in ‘15, started to get the itch for the new F150, or to do something to give mine a different look. Love this leveling kit, gave my truck the perfect stance and the ride is awesome!! And the 305/55r20 Ridge grapplers fits perfectly with no rubbing. The shipping was fast!!!

I put it on the 2.1" setting. Ride is a little rougher than factory but not by much. Alignment shop said it was only off b 1/8 inch. I didn't ask if it was caster, camber or a little of both. Just shows the engineering in these struts. I also removed the 1.25" block in the rear and added a 3".

Bilstein makes a great product! Purchased the 4 corner 5200 series kit for an 2016 F150. Stage3motorsports made purchasing quick and easy with the best price around. Products were delivered quickly which was nice to see. I would have appreciated some good ole paper instructions with pictures for install but a little bit of intuition and a couple online videos had me riding nice in a single afternoon of work. The one thing not noted but made a big difference was loosening the upper and lower control arm bolts to get the strut assemblies in/out. Changing the rears was just a few minutes. The improved ride was noticed immediately! The truck ride is firmer yet more planted to the road. The rear end no longer hops around and the front end feels responsive and stuck to the ground. I would recommend this to get the nose out of the weeds without going full on lift.

Shop installed at 2.1 despite me having them set at and wanting 1.26. Was very displeased with the ride at 2.1, entirely too much preload on the spring. After them correcting and setting at 1.26. I am very happy with the ride. Firmed it up enough so the body roll and dive isn't as bad. These are no fox shocks or high end setup. But for the cost it's a decent improvement. I will attach photos of the the truck at the 1.26 setting as that setup seems rare to find photos of. Will be putting it on 285 70 17 tires with 0 offset.
