hopefully very soon. I'll wait for a few reviews before buying them myself.

How do you guys find the truck handles with the 2014 rear bilstein shocks?
Is it harsh? How does it compare to stock?

I've got a '15 with 6" lift, I upgraded the Rough Country rear shocks to Bilstein 5100, used a general part number that had the same collapsed and extended length that I needed. 33-185576. They are awesome, ride so much better than the rough country shocks. Now I'm just waiting for the fronts to become available.

Nothing yet, they have been developed and introduced but still not in the catalogue. No date as of yet.

still waiting also -- I think the new front number is 24-248129 but as of yet can't get them. My rear bilstein are a great improvement. I turned them over to boots on top a few weeks ago. I had them boots down since June. They say it does not matter. Like others i just used the number from I think 2013 application.

Looks like the 6112 was released at the same time.

I just called Bilstein this morning 1-3-16 in Poway, CA The number 24-248129 is the right front shock number. They said maybe production to start in 2 months. Said Ford was slow to give them the chassis changes on the '15 trucks and that set them back on development. They did not have a number for the rears available yet. I guess just use 2013 shocks for that. Phone number for Bilstein in California 1-858-385-5900. I told them to hurry up.
