Any thoughts on Falcon Shocks?
These look interesting for towing: https://www.falconshocks.com/ford-f150. I like the idea of 3 settings for the rear shocks to adjust for normal or towing.
Not sure if $1500 for front and rear is a good deal but it looks like you wouldn't need Timbrens/Sumo spring assists.

That video came up in my YouTube this am, I think those are sweet! Will be interesting to see more reviews once they've been out a little longer.

So I watched this as well last night, they look good. I was more interested in the towing aspect than the offroad, so my question is. Has anyone replaced the factory rear shocks for something that helps stability with towing?

These look interesting but not sure they would be worth the money compared to a set of blisteins of ranchos.

I am on the stock shocks right now. I’m still working on picking out the right set for me. If I was going to (and I may) go with Bilsteins I would be going 6112s on the front and 5160s on the rear. The 6112s are a larger diameter than the 5100s, and the 5160 is a remote reservoir rear shock. These new Falcon shocks look like a closer match to that combo than the 5100s.

Downside, since trading the truck and buying a new 2018 f150, Monroe doesn’t yet have the shock for my truck. I contacted them in November when I first purchased and again about 2 weeks ago. I’ve considered Bilsteins as everyone brags them up but the Monroe’s are definitely cheaper and really did improve overall ride performance whether towing or daily driving.

On my 2011 f150 I installed Monroe Load Adjusting shocks on the rears. Basically a heavy duty shock with spring assist. Pulling a 30 Ft travel trailer over 7000 lbs these really helped. They rode very similar to stock when not towing on road also handled better off road on gravel/ fire roads. For towing they helped greatly with the sway/ bounce. Bonus added about an inch of lift when not towing. I think I paid something like 115 bucks for the pair.
