Most guys here go with the 5100s. They're a great pair of shocks. There's tons of threads on them and the general consensus is that it improves the stock ride.

I would imagine that you would see at the very least comparable and (hopefully) improved ride quality of the stock 5100s. Likely the ride quality would shine more offload than on. If you think the 6112 is for you, you might also take a look at the upgraded rear shocks 5160. These rear shocks can also go up to 2.0" lift as opposed to the 5100s with 1.5" lift. I have seen a few more people here interested in this combo, but I am not aware of anyone who has tested them. It would be very interesting if you found someone who did the upgrade after having 5100s installed. If you do try them out be sure to give some feedback! Here are links for both.

I believe you are correct. I mentioned seeing them on Stage 3 in another thread and a few members said they weren't there when they recently shopped.

I'm getting the 6112 fronts and 5160 rears at the end of this week.

I'll hopefully do a video of the install as I haven't found any feedback or information on the 6112 and 5160 combo on the 2015+ F-150's.

Cheers
