Default Rear shocks

I need to Replace the rear shocks on my 2016 fx4 crew. Getting mixed messages from friends. The truck is stock height with 295 /70 /18 tires. I put Monroe reflex on....they really are worthless. Any recommendations....I don't want to spend more than absolutely necessary.

thanks yall

Bilstein 4600 would be a good choice.

Did it raise your rear end any? or is it a bit stiff. Bilstein told me the 5100 shock was a bit longer.

They state they’re for 0”-2”. But it also states they’re a little
stiffer and work better with heavier larger wheels and tires. I’m totally stock, so I’m thinking 4600 will be suit my needs.

I have 4600s on my truck and they're great. I had 5100s on my last truck and they felt similar. The 4600s are a little cheaper.

Fox 2.0 or Bilstein for the stock truck. 2 best options.

Bilstein 4600's. Just put them on my buddies F150 and they made a really nice difference.

Another vote for Bilstein 4600's. It's what I'm currently running, and they made a noticeable difference.
