Choosing the correct shock for your 4wd Ford Super Duty is very important for the ride characteristics of your suspension. A shock absorber is a quick and inexpensive way to greatly increase handling control as well is improve ride quality.
Bilstein is known worldwide for quality and you can feel it the moment you drive your F250, F350 after they are installed. The monotube design is constructed to offer superior damping abilities that make this heavy duty Bilstein shock an exceptional choice for heavy hauling or off-road situations.

Heat is a major enemy of shock life and shock performance all around. Bilstein has improved upon conventional designs to prevent fade and heat build up, giving their monotube shocks more room for heat to dissipate. The piston inside the shaft is also more than 2x the size of a conventional twin tube piston allowing for greatly improved handling and control.

These replaced the stock "Rancho" Ford shocks (which are crap, had one die at ~7K miles) at about 16K miles. They're not soft, but they have the right amount of stiffness to greatly improve the ride quality AND handling under load. I held off ordering because of the clashing colors of all things (I have a blue 2017 F250), hoping they'd go silver body on these too. But I finally took a chance based on my need and other reviews I'd seen, and I'm glad I did. I would absolutely recommend these.
my 2020 f450 was 2 days old when i upgraded, transformed the truck from a jarring ride to an acceptable truck ride
