Default Help with shocks

So I just bought a 2015 xlt with a fabtech 6 inch basic lift on it. Don't get me wrong the truck is beautiful and hands really well, I was actually very surprised. But I do like to take it off-road a few times a year and I have my doubts as to the ride quality of the white body rear shocks on it now. I am trying to replace them with a performance shock ( like a fox 2.0, nothing extreme). So my question here is so sites say 2014-2015, some say 09-14, some say just 15 ect. Is there any difference other than the way the shocks are mounted in opposite directions between 2014 rear shocks and this year's? I'd like to pull the trigger on some 2014 Fox shocks but can't get a straight answer anywhere saying if they are the same shock just mounted different, or totally different. Thanks for any help you can provide!

As I understand it, the Fox 2.0 kit for the '14 fits the '15 just fine. These are the ones that are in my '15:

Thank you for that I'm pretty sure the 14 rear shocks are the same mounting style just one forward and one reward but I'm going to make some phone calls today and get the final answer on this. Thanks for the information though, it's tough to find too much outside if full lift kits and level packages on these trucks still

Would be nice to know. I have a new set of Bilstein 5100s fro the 2014 sitting, wondering if they will fit the 2015.

Interested to see your findings

Would like to know about the bilsteins as well.

Most of the levelling kits are the same for the 14 and 15 because they use the same from shock. Its a different bottom mount than was used on 13 and down

The 2014 shocks for the rear do fit perfectly

I heard that Bilstein was still working on valving for the 2015.
