Shock/strut replacement and Max Trailer
Looking to replace front and rear shocks on my 2015 Screw with the max trailer tow and 7050# gvwr package. Are there any specific requirements for replacement to maintain that capability? I’m looking at the Rancho RS5000 series for the rear and RS9000 quick lift for the front.
I bought the Bilstein 4600 series for stock ride height. I installed the rear shocks. Front struts are waiting till later, "winter". Seems to be a lot of love for the Bilsteins.
Lot of people get the Bilstein 5100s. Seems the valving is close on the 4600, and 5100.
If you want to raise the truck 5100s are needed. 4600s only stock height.
I bought set of 4 4600s for about $390 ish.
I rec watch some videos. One I watched talked about differences between Bilstein, and Ranchos etc.
Don't ask me how they ride, because I only have rear shocks on now. Also I have been doing work on the truck. Axle seals, fluid change, full brake rebuild etc. The truck has not even left my property since I bought it.........

I put 5100s in the rear of my Scab/6.5. Rides fine to me. Not expecting a Cadillac soft ride with 20s and A/T tires. The front is still stock struts with a 2" leveling puck. When the time comes to replace the fronts, I will replace the stock struts with 5100 adjustable struts set at 2.1"......or....I won't mess with it and probably trade it in on a newer STX. Meh.
