Anyone replacing the rear shocks on their '15-'16's? I started looking today at leveling struts and shocks, but can't find hardly anything for rear shocks. The only set I've found are some Bilstein 5100's, Rancho's shocks all only work with their 4" lift kits... It's seriously strange to me to not have any sort of selection.

Not many out. There are also fox shocks but I hear on back order.

Maybe i'm just used to having an older truck so parts were already readily produced? There's also Icon's, but man those would cost me my first born child (whenever that eventually happens), which is the same story with Fox...

Lots of us on here have changed out our stock shocks and put Fox 2.0 on, I'm guessing that's why they are backordered, lol. Stage 3 has them on sale for 207 a pair. Backordered but due to be arriving soon I hear.
I got mine here in Canada and took less then a week to arive. I guess places up here have stock.
They are night and day difference. Stock shocks are terrible. The Fox 2.0 are amazing. Worth every penny.

Let me save you a bunch of time researching this. Order Fox 2.0s for $207 shipped from stage3motorsports. Whenever they come in, install them. They're easy to install and a huge improvement over stock.

^^ This. Even though they are on back order, order them and wait. I saw on one of the other threads, they say up to 60 days when you order but then notified of a shipping date than was much sooner. Like so many others that have switched, you will notice a difference in rear stability.

Stage3 said they were on backorder when I place my order on 11/23. They were shipped 2 days later. Got them in a week.

The more I drive the truck, the more I notice the suspension is all over the place. My last truck had RS9000-XL's on the rear with Quicklift struts on the front, it was well planted and had good cornering. I was planning to just go back with that setup, but it's not currently possible. Maybe I'll just go with the 2.0 rears and the Quicklifts up front. Thanks y'all! The 2.0's are surprisingly affordable, the 2.5's are crazy expensive though.

Check post 492 here. He called Stage 3, they are expecting a large shipment in a week. get em while they're hot!

In addition to these rear shocks, I recently installed the Hellwig rear sway bar. An even better improvement in rear stability and handling. I like taking a turn and the truck stays level and planted to the road without all the body roll.
