Hi,
I'm looking to get some new shocks for my 2016 F150. Its been getting a little bumpy. Most of my driving is around the city or highway. Next summer I'll be towing a travel Trailer. I did have an experience with the truck jumping to the right and some rough road.
Any suggestions for shocks? I have no idea what would be a good fit and will have to have a mechanic install them.

Which one is the best?
Thanks!

Your budget would be the limiting factor on the best. I recommend the f150 boss. I'm using those on the rear. I can't recommend the ranchero. They failed within 30000 Miles with fluid leaking on both. Icon and bilstein are very popular as well.

does the '16 have a rear sway bar? if not that would be my first suggestion to stop the bouncing/jumping. i installed the hellwig on my '13 and it made a world of difference. i did switch to the 5100s all the way around at the same time but they are a bit stiffer than stock so i would not suggest them if you are after a more comfortable ride. one nice feature is that you can set the fronts at the highest of the 3 settings and it will level out the truck, but it also provides the "roughest" ride - least amount of travel. i left mine on the lowest setting as the rake never bothered me.

i am quite happy with my setup for both city driving and towing (my trailer weighs 1,200lbs and the car weighs 3,000).

Can't go wrong with Bilstein 5100s.

This. Bilsteins are around $300 for all 4 tires. You can easily go north of $3000 for all 4.
