Looking to put Bilstein shocks/leveling struts on my stock 05 FX4. I am wondering how the ride quality is with this set up. I am not a big fan of my ride quality now and want to make sure I get the right product for my need. My most important thing is ride quality as I due very little off road. Also, any MPG change with the 2 inch setting? Thanks!!

Just a leveling kit or any shocks will not have any affect on your MPGs.

I love my bilsteins, less body lean and tires feel planted to the ground compared to stock. Rides more like a truck.

Yeah, I agree with Coner. I have had them on for a year now and I love them. Much better dampening than the stock shocks.

I had my bilsteins installed couple weeks ago and the ride is a night & day difference!





+ makes it look 20 times better.

What kind of $$$ are we talking about for the Bilsteins?

Ballin STX

Around 400$ for the shocks front and rear and 280 for alignment and install.

How are they for a little off-roading compared to stock??

Ballin STX

there much more firm, handles the bumps much better and handles the turns alot better as well.

Not trying to hujack the thread, but how do they do off roading? Just wondering seeing as how I am thinking about going this route instead of an all out lift to keep my warranty working.
