I actually was just in the 09-14 forums and just read a great thread on Raptor rear shocks and saw a great review on the Bilstein rear and will probably stay that route.

I'm not sure bud, I would love to tell you, but I don't even have y'alls year model truck lol. My buddy has fox shocks, and they are amazing. It literally feels like riding in a car, rather than a truck.

How is the Fox set up in the front? Do you buy the entire coil over setup and does that level it?

I imagine you could level it that way, probably better to get a spindle kit. I would pull the trigger on fox shocks if I had the money and was in the market for new shocks.

I just always thought my F-150 bounced around bad in the rear over bumps since day 1. I have an FX4 are the factory shocks really different than an XLT or Lariat?

I know bilstein have some adjustable shocks, but if it were me.. I'd stick with fox, king, icon, sway, or similar.. as you can get the pricer models that allow adjusting. Ideally, springs and some new shocks and the rear of your truck will love you for the upgrades. :D

For the love of shocks, listen to this guy.
