F250 replacement shocks
At 82K miles already on our 2016 F250 Diesel, it is time to replace the shocks; seeing some indication that the time is at hand. Could I get some opinions on the best replacement shocks? This TV is 4wd Crew Cab; have a 50 gallon Titan fuel tank, Leer topper and Ride Rite air bags on rear. Pull a 2016 Classic and use a ProPride hitch. Truck weighs 8642 with full fuel and driver.
Some ideas I found are: Bilstein 5100 and Fox 2.0.
About to replace tires and want the new shocks in place first.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I went with the Bilstein 5100’s and am happy with them so far.

I have been very satisfied with Fox shocks on several vehicles.

I went with adjustable Ranchos and am glad I did. I was able to dial them for the best ride.

I went with KYB Monomax and was very happy towing a 27 ft. on roads in the past that had me shaking me teeth loose with the hobby horse action.
I have an F250 diesel crew cab, so the truck has some weight to start with as well.

I’ve got the KYB Monomax’s on my Ram and I’m happy with them.

Glad I am not alone on my feeling towards the KYB. Not the cool factor of a Bilstein or Rancho but they seem to work for me. And, they do red boots to kind of mimic the Rancho so I am fake cool?

I can’t find a pair of Bilstein 5100s for the rears of a 2017+ F-250. Do they make them (I can’t find them) or are people still using fronts and boring the mounts out?
