I need to replace mine on my 2018 as well. On my 17 Ram, I replaced my worn out factory shocks with KYB Excel G, and they were fantastic for the price. Ride was very smooth (Rams already ride much smoother than F150s), and they are not expensive. When I get around to replacing the shocks on this truck, I'll be doing the same thing. I'll likely buy the rear shocks and the front struts with the springs already installed so I dont have to mess around with that. I live in Houston and last time I had a vehicle off road was 2017 when I got stuck on the beach in my 2wd truck. My truck is 100% city/highway miles and the roads in Houston are garbage.

I know theres a few threads on here about shocks, but I wanted to make one specific to my truck/situation. I have a 2015 Platinum with 73k miles and over the last 6 months or so, Ive really began to notice how rough my truck rides. I feel like any bump in the road whether big or small rattles my truck and I feel everything. I want to have the shocks replaced but I’m not an expert at all when it comes to this stuff, Im somewhat ignorant to it. My truck is a daily driver, I do zero offroad, I want to keep stock ride height, I have Continental Highway tires, and Im just looking for something to soften the rattling and impact of going over bumps/potholes. I see alot of people recommend Fox and Bilstein and Ive aslo see some say replace with new stocks because aftermarket shocks are more for offroading. Could someone please assist given my driving situation I described. Thanks.
