Default Shocks and Stuts - 2018 XLT

My 2018 F150 XLT has 150K on the clock and I'm about to change out the suspension. I've done this type of work 5-10 times, but always used Bilsteins (yellow). Frankly, I'm tired of the spring compressor stuff and want to go with a Quick Strut. Fully build. Plus the truck was in NY and the strut holder (whatever the name) is looking rough. Quick-Strut (strut assembly) comes with everything preassembled. Bilstein doesn't do Quick Struts. Lastly, the truck doesn't get worked very hard. Mainly long highway trips with my wife who get car sick easily. SLOOOOWWW LANE! Has anyone used TRQ, KYB, Monroe, Gabriel.... and been happy? If one is similar to Bilstein in performance and I can knock out the suspension in 2-3 hrs... bonus!

There are much better coilovers out there. You didn't mention if you want a little more height, but if you do, Fox makes a very good set up, and the price rises from there.
The Fox are adjustable, and can be lowered around stock height, if any of that helps.
