Here's my 2010 FX4 with Bilstein 5100's set to max in the front, 3" blocks in the rear (factory block removed), and longer Bilstein 5100's in the rear (designed for trucks with up to 2" of lift).
Tires are 35x12.50R18 KO2's on 18x9 +12 rims. Had to do some trimming infront and behind the tire. Then when I added the heavy duty mud flaps, I cut 1/2" of metal off the bottom front edge of the fender.

Did anyone ever figure out the part number for the longer shocks?
I kept stock block and added an add a leaf and that lifted the rear 2.5 inches. I got 2.5 inches out of Bilsteins front. I want the right rear shock for best ride.

Old thread I know but was curious how the highway ride quality was with the 3” block and oem rear shocks. I have a fabtech 4” lift that removes the factory block and replaces it with a 2.25”. I got the regular white shocks with it not the upgraded and the rear rides a bit rough. Was thinking about throwing my factory rears on and trying it out in hopes of a softer ride. I don’t tow or haul very much.
