ok everyone. Looking to level my truck. Should i do bilstien leveling struts or fox 2.0's and why? Thanks!

For starters. They're about a $5-600 price difference.
The bilstien's will be a smoother ride.

Yeah I knew the price obviously lol. Just want to be sure that I'm getting what I want I guess. I want a nice clean level stance with a little bigger tire. The most off road I would ever do is just during hunting season and it's basically just fields n stuff.

i think the labor to take apart the shocks to install the 5100s is about the same as buying the fox2.0 and having them installed as its a whole assembly. could be wrong though. in the end you may pay about the same.

i had 5100s on my 04 and loved them, finaly got around to putting fox 2.0 on my 13

How do you like the fox's?

flamehead16

so far so good. i went with a lighter 285 tire so the truck doesnt feel as heavy as my 10 plys. the suspension is still seatling in.

Fox struts/shocks need to be rebuilt every 10-40k miles depending on offroading.

I ran both over the course of changing setups. The 5100's are a nice upgrade replacement. Ended up putting them on my dads f1. Smoother ride and a little better dampening. The 2.0's offer a more performance oriented ride. Sacrifice a little street ride quality but they're a much better off road upgrade than the 5100's, especially when it comes to square edged bumps and higher speeds off road. It's a lot more controlled setup imo. I was happier with my 2.0's over the 5100's.

Fox 2.0's on my '14. No regrets.

I originally wanted Bilsteins, but they were unavailable. I then was looking at a Boss package from F150 Lifts, but in the process, found a sweat deal on the Fox.
