Default 2015 XLT rear shocks
I have the Firestone airbags but I want to upgrade my rear shocks as well. I don't want to raise the rear, just have better shocks for towing. What is recommended?

Familiar with the name since my air cooled VW days, but it still sounds like a personal lubricant.

I used 4600 on my 2011, but with Supersprings raising the rear an inch, the rubber boot kept coming off one end. I recommend the 5100s.

I was looking at the 5100's but Bilstein does not list them for the 2015/2016 models

The 5100's fit the 15's in the rear but the valving may be a tad bit stiff.
