Bilstein 5100 shocks
Question to those who have the Bilstein 5100 shocks. I have a stock 2013 F150 with about 50,000 miles on it. Seems to have developed a rumble above 40mph. Best way to describe is it feels like going down a gravel road. Earlier this year I put on LT tires. I know this will make for a rougher ride but it has gotten worse, didn't notice too much change when I put them on. Had them checked and they are balanced and rotated.
How has the ride been from stock to the Bilsteins? I have seen some comments that it can be firm. Not really concerned about the firm but rather getting rid of the hop or rumble.
Also want to confirm the part numbers:
Front 24-239394
Rear 33-187501
These show will work with zero lift.
Thanks for any info.

I put them on the front of my '13. I think your part number looks right but just going from memory. Got them from 4wheelparts.com. Direct line order desk was very helpful. The ride may be a bit stiffer than stock (I still have OEM tires) but I like it. Would I put them on again??? Yes

I just put the 5100's on a couple weeks ago and I'm very happy with them. The ride is so much better than OEM shocks and I wouldn't describe it as stiff at all. Much less body roll and no diving under hard braking.
i'll mimic this. I got mine on a couple of weeks ago too. it's overall just better than stock.
