I just put the icon coilovers with cdcv reservoir's on my truck and I will say that I am very happy. My truck is a 2018 screw with the 3.5 eco and HD payload and I always felt that the front springs felt a bit stiffer than the rear and with the icons on the softest setting makes it feel more balanced and soaks up potholes and road imperfections with ease. After I install my 2.25 inch rear blocks I'll try to post some pics.

I have Rancho QuickLifts on my new 2018. They don’t have height adjustment but unlike Bilsteins, they don’t use the factory spring. I think Bilsteins are good but the Rancho’s might be better. I haven’t had them long enough to tell. Fox and Icon will be the best but cost way more. I got Rancho’s from Stage 3 for $370 shipped.
they are also a little higher than Bilsteins potentially.... here is what Rancho sent me on the lift height:
2.75” actually

What are you going to do to truck? e.g going to keep stock wheels or new wheels with tires? If the latter what size?

Have you owned all 3 like Dave ?
I think by having run all 3, he has a valid opinion.
And probably based his opinion on facts.
Now if you have run all 3 of them...... why don't you give us an honest review.......
Or is that your "opinion" based on what you have read ?

I highly recommend Bilstein 6112's. I am running them on the highest clip setting. The ride is a vast improvement over stock. Interestingly it is a bit stiffer than stock struts yet they absorb bumps more effectively.

Kind of a strange tire choice, both size and style.... low-pro street performance tires on a lifted FX4? To each his own, just confusing!

I put those on my 2012 ecoboost. Honestly can’t tell much of a difference between them and the level spacers I put on this truck.
