I have a 2016 XLT SCREW 5.0 4wd that I want to level. I don't really have the money for the Fox 2.0's so I'm considering the 5100's or quickLIFT's. For now I'll be running the stock 20's until I can at least upgrade the tires. Can you tell me which you prefer and why? Also, I'm open to other recommendations
I don't have either on my 2015 but a few years back on our F350's, my bud did a Bilstein setup and I did the Rancho.
The Bilsteins were much better.
Around here from reading a 100 threads or so it seems the Bilsteins have a very loyal following. More so than the Rancho's. For the money I don't think you can go wrong with the Bilsteins.

Hopefully we'll get more folks to chime in.
Bilsteins are about $150 more expensive and a 1/2" shorter too, just something to keep in mind, i know i am.
I could be wrong, but I think the Bilsteins will cost more overall if you are having them installed for you because they use the stock coil. The Rancho Quicklifts are a simple swap.
I had Rancho Quicklifts on my old truck and they were alright for the price. I have no experience with the Bilsteins.

at $380/set, you can't go wrong. You're not out $1000 if you don't like them like some of the packages.
I got Bilstein 5100s front and rear and I love them. Fronts are all the way up. Sits pretty level when nothings in the bed... I'm probably gonna get some blocks still though. I honestly cannot tell a difference in ride quality from stock FX4
I've had the QuickLIFTS and RS9000's installed for a year and have been very happy with them. Ride is much smoother over stock and handles great overall. I had bilsteins in my last Tundra and they were good too, although that truck did not ride near as smooth as this one (probably more the truck than the shock).

Bilstein or Rancho?
