So i am thinking about replacing the shocks in my 2011 lariat and i was looking at the Fox 2.0s and the Boss shocks from F150Lifts. i don't think i can afford coil-overs right now so i wanted to know if its okay to just replace the shocks and keep the factory coils? they only have a little over 60k on them so its not that they are wearing out, just looking for a little ride improvement. also wondering if its okay to just replace fronts/backs now and the other set later on, thoughts?

Yes, look at Bilstein 5100's, they will use your stock coils and upper caps and you will get new shocks all around. You can get them for $350-400 online.

Okay cool, but do you know of the fox shocks or the boss shocks would work will factory coils?

RES4CUE

Not sure as they usually sell them with their own springs, maybe call them.

Have close to 12K miles so far with the Bilstein 5100's and no complaints. Glad I went with the front and rears for improved handling and no trailer sagging with my atv trailer hooked up.





Close to 2,500 lbs and the rear Bilsteins keep it fairly level compared to the stock shocks.
